Exposure of laboratory mice to domestic cooking gas: implications for toxicity.
Int J Environ Res Public Health

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effects of domestic cooking gas on liver toxicity and genetic damage in mice over 21 days, using varying doses (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, and 300 mg/kg).
- Sodium arsenite was used as a positive control, showing significant increases in markers of liver damage and genetic damage compared to the negative control, which only received distilled water.
- Results indicated that while domestic gas also induced liver and genetic damage, it was less potent than sodium arsenite, suggesting potential health risks for humans exposed to domestic cooking gas over long periods.
