“…In recent years, water from the Rhine has caused elevated occurrence of chromosomal aberrations (Prein et al, 1978), chromosome breakage (Koss et al, 1986), tumours and porphyrin levels (Slooff and De Zwart, 1983) in fish compared to those from cleaner waters. These studies are valuable since they give information on the effects caused by the complex mixture of chemicals in the river.…”

“…In The Netherlands the presence of mutagenic activity in the river Rhine, which is heavily polluted by industrial and domestic waste from several European countries before it enters the country, was reported first by Prein et al 93 in 1978. They showed an increase in chromosome breaks in gill preparations of experimental fish exposed to this water, and Salmonella TA 100 mutagenicity in petrol ether extracts of ^6 C of this water.…”

“…Nitroarenes are emitted from engines and other sources which combust organic material (115). Several of these compounds (e.g .• dinitropyrenes) are hig'hly mutagenic and carcinogenic (47, 67) .…”

“…The method has also been used to assess BaP/PAH exposure of foundry workers, coke oven workers, and roofers (33,34,36,69). Some investigators have related adducts in placenta and lung measured by 32 P-postlabeling to cigarette smoking (20,68); others have not seen smoker/nonsmoker differences in bone marrow, WBC, or buccal mucosa (16,67). While the method produces images that are considered an idiosyncratic "fingerprint" of the exposure, researchers involved with developing this assay have faced difficulties in identifying the adducts formed.…”

This meeting was a satellite of the "Fifth International Conference on Environmental Mutagens" and the seventh in a biennial series of conferences on "Short-term Bioassays in the Analysis of Complex Environmental Mixtures."Our central objective in calling together key researchers from around the world was to extend our knowledge of the application of the methods of genetic toxicology and analytical chemistry in the evaluation of chemical mixtures as they exist in the environment. This conference emphasized the study of genotoxicants in air and water, and the assessment of human exposure and cancer risk. The latest strategies and methodologies for biomonitoring of genotoxicants (including transformation products) were described in the context of the ambient environment. Source characterization and source apportionment were discussed as an aid to understanding the origin and relative contribution of various kinds of complex mixtures to the ambient environment. Similarly, investigations of genotoxicants found in the indoor environment (sidestream cigarette smoke) and in drinking water (chlorohydroxyfuranones) were given special attention in terms of their potential health impacts. New molecular techniques were described to enable more precise quantitation of internal dose and doseto-target tissues.The emphasis of presentations on exposures/effects assessment was on integrated quantitative evaluation of human exposure and potential health effects. It is clear that the sophistication of complex mixture research technologies has increased dramatically since the first conference in 1978 with the application of state-of-the-art genetic and molecular methods. It is now apparent that interdisciplinary approaches are essential in order to assess the contribution of mixtures of genotoxic agents in the environment to total human exposure and potential cancer risk.We are indebted to the speakers and chairpersons who presented their data at the meeting and in the excellent chapters that follow.
