A hierarchical approach to mutagenicity testing and regulatory control of environmental chemicals. 1976

K C Bora

A hierarchical approach to mutagenicity testing and regulatory control of environmental chemicals is proposed. The guiding concepts and principles relating to the testing of chemicals for mutagenicity and evaluation of genetic hazards are discussed.
