FOREWORD
Contained in this volume are the proceedings of the international
conference on the "Genetic Toxicology of Complex Mixtures," held from
July 4-7, 1989, in Washington, DC. 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 character-
ization and source apportionment were discussed as an aid to understand-
ing the origin and relative contribution of various kinds of complex mix-
tures to the ambient environment. Similarly, investigations of genotoxi-
cants 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 dose-
to-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.
A conference of this type requires the cooperative efforts of many
individuals. The organizing committee is grateful for the generous sup-
port of Dr. Don Hughes of Procter & Gamble, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Dr.
Steve Haworth of Hazelton Laboratories, Kensington, Maryland, who con-
tributed to these proceedings. I would like to acknowledge Dr. Bruce
Casto of the Environmental Health Research and Testing, Inc., who

Although the induction of cancer in man and in experimental animals
by exposure to ionizing radiation or chemicals has been known for a long
time, major insights into the mechanisms that underlie naturally occurring
and induced cancers began to emerge only since the early 1970s. There
is now persuasive evidence which documents that (i) many carcinogens
are mutagens; (ii) most forms of cancer are due, at least in part, to
changes (mutations) in the DNA (genetic material) contained in cells; and
(iii) such genetic changes playa pivotal role in the initiation of cancer at
the cellular level. A wide variety of test systems developed during the
last 20 years--ranging from bacteria and mammalian cells including human
cells in culture to whole mammals--is now available to examine the "muta-
genic potential" of different chemicals, but they are only suitable for a
qualitative determination of the level of cancer risk resulting from expo-
sure of man to such agents. Agents that are capable of damaging the
DNA are called "genotoxic" and a general characteristic of these is their
electrophilic reactivity towards DNA and other cellular macromolecules.
Interaction of chemicals with DNA has been considered as the initial step
in the formation of cancer and hereditary effects in mammals, in spite of
the (often spectacularly efficient) DNA repair processes in the individual
cells of the organism (Fig. 1). The assumption is made that DNA lesions
may escape correction by DNA repair processes, otpers may be errone-
ously repaired or not repaired at all. Moreover, the spectrum of lesions
in the DNA of exposed cells is often complex and strongly dependent on
the agent involved. Furthermore, DNA repair processes are found to be
dependent on organ and cell type, chromosomal structure, and whether
genes are active or inactive.
Mutation induction is only considered a first step (initiation) in the
long chain of events leading to malignant transformation of cells. Still
many other, mostly unknown, steps are involved in the complicated path-
way leading from an initiated cell to an established tumor. Especially
noticeable among unknown factors are those that influence the progression
