Abstract:
The author outlines the methods by which the International Agency for Research on Cancer evaluates study design and results when it reviews epidemiologic studies to determine carcinogenicity and mutagenicity. The chapter concludes with an extensive series of tables summarizing (1) the tests relevant to mutagenicity and (2) the IARC rating system for carcinogens, categorizing industrial and agricultural chemicals according to evidence of mutagenicity.
