Evaluation in Man and Animals of Tests for the Detection of Population Exposures to Genotoxic Chemicals

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Environmental Science Research ((ESRH,volume 27))

Abstract

Over the past several decades, our increasing use of and reliance upon fossil fuels and synthetic chemicals have resulted in rapidly increasing human contact with chemicals not previously found in the environment. Acute toxic effects of chemical exposure have usually been recognized quickly and steps taken to minimize hazards. The effects of chronic exposures or delayed effects of exposure have been more difficult to recognize.
