Klappentext This rigorous and practical account of the interpretation of mutagenicity test data draws upon the expertise of toxicologists and statisticians. Zusammenfassung This rigorous and practical account of the interpretation of mutagenicity test data draws upon the expertise of toxicologists and statisticians. Chemicals! such as drugs! food additives and pesticides! all need careful screening to eliminate potentially mutagenic compounds.
