The LD50 was obtained as the geometric mean of the determined experimental data on mice lethality. The value for sodium fluoride was 32 mg/kg and for sodium perborate the result was 775 mg/kg. The results concerning the SCE rate induced by sodium fluoride are shown in Table 1. Although no significant increase was observed with the two low doses tested (from 2 to 4 mg/kg), a significant SCE increase was found with the three highest doses. The cumulative frequency of these data reveals about 70% o
