The experiments on animals studied mutagenic activity of copper-nickel sulfide ore dust. Micronucleus test proved mild mutagenic activity of the ore under study. Chronic inhalation of the dust induced malignancies (mostly lung tumors and leukoses) in 52% of the experimental Wistar rats, that could be caused by dissolution of the dust components in the body fluids.
对动物进行的实验研究了硫化铜镍矿粉尘的致突变活性。微核试验证明了所研究矿石具有轻度致突变活性。长期吸入该粉尘导致52%的实验用Wistar大鼠发生恶性肿瘤(主要是肺癌和白血病),这可能是由于粉尘成分在体液中溶解所致。
