Applied genetic research, genetic toxicology and mutation research investigate the mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of chemicals and other agents. Permanent mutation in genes and chromosomes can be induced by a plethora of agents, including ionizing and non-ionizing radiations, chemicals and viruses. Among the aspects discussed in this text are the understanding of the molecular mechanisms leading to mutations, and the prevention of a thoughtless introduction of mutagenic agents into the environment.
