As editor I want especially to thank Dr. Ernst Freese for helpful
co operation in preparing these volumes, and to express my
appreclatlOn to Drs. Kurt Hirschhorn and Marvin Legator, the other
members of the editorial board. Alexander Hollaender January 1971
Preface The purpose of these volumes is to encourage the
development and ap plication of testing and monitoring procedures
to avert significant human exposure to mutagenic agents. The need
for protection against exposure to possibly mutagenic chemicals is
only now coming to be generally realized. The recently issued
Report of the Secretary's Commission on Pesticides and Their
Possible Effects on Health (the Mrak Report-U.S. Department of
Health, Education and Welfare, December 1969) has made an important
start. Its Panel on Mutagenicity recommends that all currently used
pesticides be tested for mutagenicity in several recently developed
and relatively simple systems. Whether recommendations such as
these are actually put into effect will depend on convincing
government, industry, and the public that the problem is important,
that the proposed tests would be effective, and that they can be
conducted at a cost that is not prohibitive. Why is it important to
screen environmental agents for mutagenic activity? To those who
will read this book, the answer is self-evident. The sine qua non
of all that we value and all that we are is our genetic heritage.
