GRASS ROOT PENETRATION IN IOSCO II PROCESSED OIL SHALE

Evaluation of Mutagenicity Testing of Extracts from Processed Oil Shale

The Ames/Salmonella mutagenicity assay was used to screen processed oil shale extracts for potentially carcinogenic chemicals. Positive mutagenic activity was detected in organic solvent extracts of all four spent shales tested. This result combined with the fact that most carcinogens (90 percent) have been detected as mutagens in the Ames test, indicates that these extracts contain carcinogens...

Biological effects of raw and processed oil shale particles in the lungs of laboratory animals.

Environmental and occupational health concerns will have an effect on the developing oil shale technologies. The mining and crushing of large volumes of rock will be a characteristic of at least some of these technologies, and above ground disposal of proceessed shale will require adequate control measures. Exposure by inhalation to the dusts that may arise from shale oil technologies may prese...
