Genetic effects of contaminant exposure--towards an assessment of impacts on animal populations.

The Science of the total environment - 18 Nov 1996

Hebert P D, Luiker M M

Abstract excerpt

This review aims both to identify the potential risks to animal populations as a consequence of exposure to genotoxins and to identify the techniques most useful in assessing these risks. These evaluations are complicated by the fact that contaminant exposure acts both to restructure naturally occurring genetic diversity and, when contaminants have mutagenic activity, to enhance the rate of introduction of new...
