Environmental Effects of Dredging. Methods for the Assessment of the GenotoxicEffects of Environmental Contaminants; Subcellular Effects

摘要

This technical note is the first in a series of three that outline and describethe principal methods that have been developed to test the potential of environmental contaminants for causing mutagenic, carcinogenic, and teratogenic effects. This technical note describes methods used to discern genotoxic effects at the subcellular level.
