Abstract
It is now generally recognized and widely accepted that environmental chemicals are a major cause of human cancer. This conclusion has been reached on the basis of extensive epidemiologic data and tragic industrial exposures (Higginson and Muir, 1973). Thus, it is urgently necessary to increase our understanding of the fundamental cellular and molecular mechanisms of chemical carcinogenesis, as well as to develop valid in vitro screening tests for the surveillance of the environment. I will address myself to both of these needs.
