With this proceedings of the fourth symposium on complex mixtures,
we continue to revise and extend our knowledge of genetic methods
for the evaluation of chemical mixtures in the environment. The
early chapters of this volume are devoted to new bioassay
techniques that are directly applicable to the monitoring of
environments contaminated with genotoxic chemicals. Microbiological
methods have been further refined to meet the special needs of
atmospheric monitoring so that very small samples may now be
efficiently tested. New in situ methods utilizing green plants
actually avoid many of the usual difficulties of sample collection
and preparation and offer special advantages in monitoring
wastewater, sludges, and hazardous wastes. Insects also are being
employed very effectively in the evaluation of gaseous air
pollutants in controlled laboratory investigations. Increased
emphasis has been placed on a comprehensive assessment of the
potential of complex mixtures t9 cause various kinds of genetic
damage. New assays for chromosome structural and numerical
aberrations in mammalian cells in vitro have been developed and are
being applied in laboratory studies. Efforts to link tests for gene
mutation and cell transformation in vitro with assays for
tumorigenesis in vivo are contributing to the validation of the
short-term testing approach. Studies comparing in vitro and in vivo
data on a coal conversion by-product, on polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons, and on mineral fibers are reported in separate
papers. Later chapters are devoted to investigations on the
fractionation and biological evaluation of specific chemical
components within complex mixtures.
