Evaluation of the effects of chemical mutagens on man: the long road ahead

J V Neel. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1970 Oct.

Abstract

By analogy with the problem of evaluating the genetic risks of radiation, it appears that it will be extremely difficult to assess the mutagenicity for man of the wide range of chemicals to which human populations are currently exposed. Nevertheless, the potential significance of this problem calls for a major effort at such an evaluation.
