Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to review and to evaluate a subset of the data base described by Waters et al.1 This data subset deals specifically with the application of genetic bioassays utilizing human cells, tissues, and body fluids, to 13 of the 24 known or suspected human carcinogens cited in the larger data base.
