Abstract
Our understanding of mechanisms of mutation, which has expanded greatly in the past few decades, served as the original impetus to the formation of the Environmental Mutagen Society. The advances in genetics and chemistry that have conditioned our present degree of knowledge are here catalogued and the future is predicted.Keywords
