title: The rodent dominant lethal assay: regulatory questions concerning appraisal of an industrial chemical as exemplified by 1,3-butadiene.
abstract: Ashby has recently described a clear diagrammatic model for the presentation and assessment of test data from dominant lethal tests. From a regulatory perspective, this approach has the merit of providing data in a standard format. Having recently evaluated the dominant lethal test data for butadiene, we have identified several areas for consideration and discussion.
