Resumo

The population of the Western world is exposed to an ever-increasing number of mutagens in its environment. The question about the genetic risk for the children of persons who have been inordinately exposed to such mutagens is being asked more and more often. To give specific advice about the dangers of a particular mutagen is not always possible on the basis of direct observational data in man. However, the results of experimental mutation research with mammals give us additional evidence of the effects of particular mutagens (Hollaender, 1971; Vogel et al., 1969; Vogel and Röhrborn,1970).
