Toph's in Chemical Mutagenesis is a new series dedicated to studies
in the areas of environmental chemical mutagenesis and genetic
toxicology. In this series we will explore some of many topics that
are emerging in these rapidly developing fields. The purpose of the
present volume is to attempt to organize and compare the genotoxic
properties of the N-nitroso compounds. This is a particularly
interesting class of compounds because of the problems encountered
with the Salmonella assay of Ames in generating both false positive
and false negative results. The battery approach using a number of
assay systems seems more appropriate to evaluate chemicals in this
class. Topics to be discussed in other volumes in this series
include single-cell mutation monitoring systems, the detection of
genetic damage in mammalian germ cells, the mutagenicity of
pesticides, problems in monitoring human populations in genetic
toxicology, and a glossary of terms in genetic toxicology. All of
these books are in various stages of development and should appear
within the next few years. Frederick J. de Serres Series Editor vii
Preface During the past ten years there has been an explosive
development in the number of short-term tests to predict the
biological risks, especially risks of cancer, in exposure to
xenobiotic chemicals. The number of published articles in this area
has reached many thousands a year and there are several new
journals devoted almost entirely to the presentation of the results
obtained in these tests.
