The soluble organic fraction of diesel particulate emissions was tested for physiological and genotoxic effects on the parasitoid wasp, Bracon hebetor. Adult female survival after topical treatment was significantly decreased at the higher concentrations of SOF. Daily egg production, a sensitive assay for genotoxic and physiological effects, was not significantly affected at any concentration. Egg hatchability on Days 1-5, representing vitellogenic oocytes at the time of treatment, was decreased, but this effect lacked consistency and dose dependence. An extensive dominant lethal test was performed with negative results. Possible explanations for these findings and comparisons with in vitro tests such as the Ames test and sister chromatid exchange are discussed.
对柴油颗粒排放物的可溶性有机部分进行了测试，以研究其对寄生蜂茧蜂的生理和遗传毒性作用。在较高浓度的可溶性有机部分（SOF）下进行局部处理后，成年雌性的存活率显著降低。每日产卵量是一种对遗传毒性和生理效应敏感的检测方法，在任何浓度下均未受到显著影响。处理时代表卵黄生成卵母细胞的第1至5天的卵孵化率降低，但这种影响缺乏一致性和剂量依赖性。进行了广泛的显性致死试验，结果为阴性。讨论了这些发现的可能解释以及与艾姆斯试验和姐妹染色单体交换等体外试验的比较。
