Thilly, W G

Major progress has been made during 1980 in the development and conception of more useful human cell assays for genetic damage, in the identification of the major contributors to mutation of human cells by combustion effluents and in extending the use of the systems previously developed to the study of the mechanisms of chemical mutation of human cells.
