    Mutagenicity tests have shown that the potencies of ethylene oxide and other alkylating agents relative to that of low-LET ionising radiation are approximately the same in different biological systems. In the present study this relationship, the radiation-dose equivalence (“rad-equivalence”) of doses of genotoxic chemicals, was tested for the induction of tumours in skin and lung of mice using different initiation-promotion protocols. The initiators used were X-rays, ethylene oxide and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-nitrosourea (HOENU). This short-term treatment was followed by treatment with the “promoters” 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and carbon tetrachloride. Unexpectedly, the animals treated with carbon tetrachloride did not show treatment-related liver tumours, but exhibited precocious death, mostly with lung tumours. According to estimates from in vitro tests the total in vivo dose from exposure to 400 ppm for 4 × 5 h corresponds to 700 rad-equivalents. Although still with great statistical uncertainty, this ratio is supported by the observed time-dependent frequencies of animals with papillomas (in the TPA series) and lung tumours (in the carbon tetrachloride series). Animals treated with HOENU exhibited high incidences of tumours of both these types in approximate agreement with the higher rad-equivalence of the treatments with this compound.
