"Genotoxicity: A Predictable Risk to Our Actual World" ed. by Marcelo L. Larramendy

This book is designed to provide an overview of the different genotoxicants and their effects on living organisms, including humans. The contributions made by the specialists in this field of research are gratefully acknowledged. The information presented in this book will meet the expectations and needs of all those interested in the different aspects of the genotoxicity field.

The publication of this book is of great importance to those scientists, pharmacologists, physicians and veterinarians, as well as engineers, teachers, graduate students and administrators of environmental programmes, who make use of these investigations to understand both the basic and applied genotoxic aspects of known and new xenobiotics, and to guide them in their future investigations
