Methods for the Assessment of the Genotoxic Effects of Environmental Contaminants; Cellular and Organ/Organism Effects

Abstract

This technical note is the second in a series of three that outline and describe the principal methods that have been developed to test the potential of environmental contaminants for causing mutagenic, carcinogenic, and teratogenic effects. The first in this series (EEDP-04-24) describes methods used to discern genotoxic effects at the subcellular level, while this technical note describes methods used to discern genotoxic effects at the cellular and organ/organism level. Recent literature citations for each topic are listed in the third technical note (EEDP-04-26) to assist readers in locating source information. A glossary of terms is also provided in Technical Note EEDP-04-26.
