Abstract: DNA damage is toxic to the cell, both acutely (perturbing the cell cycle and inducing apoptosis), and in the longer term (accelerating senescence and causing cancer and genetic disease) (1,2). Therefore it is of great interest for public health to determine the potential of anthropogenic chemicals and other compounds found in the environment to cause DNA damage as likely toxicants, carcinogens and teratogens (3).
