Abstract

Discussion of the exponential increase in environmental toxicological information and an approach for organizing and using the information was presented by Lu and Wassom.¹ A user's guide to the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS) was published by NIOSH² that defines the record layouts and describes the types of data contained in the computer tape version of the 1984 Edition of the RTECS.³ A text summarizing information on approximately 800 toxic chemicals was edited by Sittig.⁴ Milestone publications concerning fundamentals of toxicology with environmental applications included the works of Gentile,⁵ Ashby,⁶ Mortel mans,⁷ Thacker,⁸ and Ruppert.⁹ Brusick and Auletta¹⁰ discussed the developmental status of bioassays in genetic toxicology reviewed by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Gene-Tox Work Groups.
