The cytogenetic activity of latex polymerization stabilizers (monoethanolamine, triethanolamine and neozon-D) is investigated in three different test systems. It is shown that monoethanolamine and triethanolamine are weak inductors of chromosome breaks in the culture of human lymphocytes and in the Crepis capillaris seeds and induce low levels of gene mutations in the Ames systems. The third stabilizer--neozon-D manifests higher mutagenic activity and definite cytotoxic effect. Monoethanolamine and triethanolamine as to their weak mutagenic effect are recommended as preferable stabilizers to be used in the latex industry.
