Abstract
This paper presents an approach to use DNA binding data to obtain information as to the possible shape of the dose response curve at low chemical exposure levels in whole mammals. Such information will be useful for both mutagenic and carcinogenic risk estimations in which high to low dose extrapolations are necessary. The paper also discusses the uses of genetic damage tests that can be performed in both humans and experimental mammals and how these tests may be useful in estimating mutagenic risks.
