(a. Objectives, b. Methodology, c. Ionizing Radiation, Radioactive Substances, or Chemical Substances to which human subjects are exposed, d. Involvement of Human Subjects [d.1. procedures used, d.2. risks if any])

Normal, healthy volunteers are asked to provide up to 100 milliliters (ml) of sterile venous blood samples by venipuncture. These samples are used in in vitro experiments on chromosomal aberration production. No exposure of volunteers to drugs, radionuclides or devices is involved. There is a slight possibility of infection and localized bleeding into the tissues.
