Book excerpt: This volume and the accompanying one, Genetic Toxicology of Environmental Chemicals, Part B: Genetic Effects and Applied Mutagenesis, constitute the Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Environmental Mutagens, which was held in Stockholm, June 24- 28, 1985. The primary emphasis is the identification of genetically hazardous chemicals in the environment and the choice of suitable test systems for that purpose. Much of the activities and discussions concerned the relationship between mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, and this in turn hinged on the correlation observed between short term tests and animal cancer data. The ambition to construct a standardized set of short-term tests which would be able to predict carcinogenic properties of environmental chemicals has turned out to be more complicated to achieve than one had foreseen. Above all, it is obvious that the induction of cancer is a multistep process, which cannot be embraced by a simplistic, mutagenicity testing procedure. Exactly the same discussions concerning the relationship between mutagenicity and carcinogenicity have taken place at previous international conferences, and the present conference is no exception.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of genetic toxicology has gone through remarkable development in the seven years since the appearance of the first edition of Principles of Genetic Toxicology. One branch of toxicology research, chemical mutagenesis, has been elucidated and expanded as a result of increased effort, testing, and the sharing of data. This expansion has occurred not only in the industrialized countries, but also in countries that are comparatively less advanced in scientific implementation. These developing countries have taken advan tage of the basic practical methods that were so well described in the first edition of this work. It is significant to note how many centers have been established throughout the world and are now studying the basic concepts and applying them to practical problems such as the detection of genetic effects caused by exposure to chemicals. In fact, there are now toxicology training centers in twelve countries. Genetic toxicology, in addition to being investigated as a science unto itself, has been taught to people in the applied fields so that these techniques may be put to use in solving other biological problems. For these reasons, it is most useful to have an update of the basic methods and their development. Dr. Brusick should be congratulated for doing such an excellent job of assembling a text that will be worthwhile to any researcher who is interested in the principles of genetic toxicology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hereis the first historical and sociological account of the formation of an interdisciplinary science known as genetic toxicology, and of the scientists' social movement that created it. After research geneticists discovered that synthetic chemicals were capable of changing the genetic structure of living organisms, scientists began to explore how these chemicals affected gene structure and function. In the late 1960s, a small group of biologists became concerned that chemical mutagens represented a serious and possibly global environmental threat. Genetic toxicology is nurtured as much by public culture as by professional practices, reflecting the interplay of genetics research and environmental politics. Drawing on a wealth of resources, Scott Frickel examines the creation of this field through the lens of social movement theory. He reveals how a committed group of scientist-activists transformed chemical mutagens into environmental problems, mobilized existing research networks, recruited scientists and politicians, secured financial resources, and developed new ways of acquiring knowledge. The result is a book that vividly illustrates how science and activism were interwoven to create a discipline that remains a defining feature of environmental health science.
