Leading investigators provide expert analyses in the areas of dosimetry and physical measurement of exposure; use of chromosome aberrations, adducts, and gene mutations as measurement of exposure and response; metabolic susceptibility; and what biomarkers may reveal about carcinogenesis. They also explore the societal and ethical issues of using biomarkers in the workplace, military, courtroom and other settings.Questions such as what are the legal and ethical issues associated with the use of biomarkers are explored in detail in this volume, which provides a comprehensive report on current and anticipated development in the application of biomarkers.
