Abstract
A colony of laboratory mice selected by intraperitoneal injection of DDT in sesame oil developed definite DDT-tolerance by generation 10. This tolerance was found to extend to the related chemicals lindane and dieldrin when administered by intraperitoneal injection. Fecundity, growth, and visual health were unimpaired.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
