Synopsis

This work, written by active researchers in the field of genetic testing, is an introduction to the problems of mutagenicity testing, with a range of examples from several scientific areas of study demonstrating how mutagenic activity can be detected in the environment. Reflecting the need for an early assessment of mutagenic pollution in our industrial and "natural" environments, there are real-life case studies concerned with the analysis of technical products, food and beverages, river and marine environments, water and wastewater, and the mutagenic pollution of agricultural land. The difficulties in assessing the genetic risk to humans is discussed, and the necessity for a test battery covering the full spectrum of genetic changes in eukaryotes documented.
