The contributions to this review are entitled ''What happened at Chernobyl'', ''ARAC: Modeling an Ill Wind'', ''Assessment of Dose and Biological Effects from Chernobyl'', ''A New Assay for Human Somatic Mutations'', and ''Benzthiazoles in Estuarine Sediments as Indicators of Street Runoff''. The first three articles deal with the events surrounding the Chernobyl accident, a model used to trace the spread of radioactive materials released in the Chernobyl accident, and techniques used to estimate quickly the effects of hemisphere wide fallout from Chernobyl. The next contribution describes an invivo assay which reliably measures accumulated genetic damage in humans, representing the integrated effect of exposure to environmental mutagens and carcinogens, including background radiation. The last article discusses a compound used in rubber tires which may serve as a tracer for contaminants washed into waterways from streets and highways.
