Abstract

Chemical carcinogens as a world-wide health problem are receiving increasing attention. On the one hand, the contamination of air and water by a variety of industrial and other chemicals of this type is occurring while, on the other hand, more and more direct food-additive and plant-protection chemicals are in increasingly regulated use. Publicity accorded the fact that certain chemical carcinogens occur in tobacco smoke is a well-known example of the interest in this area.
