Advances in Mutagenesis Research - v. 3

Applied genetic research, genetic toxicology and mutation research investigate the mutagenicity and cancerogenicity of chemicals and other agents.

Permanent mutation in genes and chromosomes can be induced by a plethora of agents, including ionizing and nonionizing radiations, chemicals and viruses.

Among the aspects discussed by "Advances in Mutagenesis Research" are the understanding of the molecular mechanisms leading to mutations and the prevention of a thoughtless introduction of mutagenic agents into the environment.

This research monograph on toxicology, mutation research, human genetics, cancer research and radiation biology is intended for researchers, university teachers, environmental health advisors and the chemical industry.
