Abstract
Malignant transformation of BALB/3T3 1-13 cells results following treatment with complex mixtures of residue organic chemicals from drinking water samples of five U. S. cities. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency provided the residues which were obtained by liquid-liquid solvent extraction, and sorption-desorption on XAD-2 resin of samples concentrated by reverse osmosis from drinking water of Philadelphia, PA; New Orleans, LA; Miami, FL; Seattle, WA; and Ottumwa, IA. Transformation was observed using a focus formation assay following 72-hr exposure of cells to residues from one or more samples from each city. Malignancy of several transformed and normal clones was evaluated in athymic (nu/nu) mice. The usefulness of such a transformation assay in detecting potential carcinogenic compounds contained in complex mixtures and the evaluation of possible health effects of residue organics in drinking water are discussed.
