European Environmental Mutagen Society meeting

The 23rd Annual Meeting of the European Environmental Mutagen Society (EEMS) will take place in Barcelona on 27 September-2 October 1993.

This year the annual meeting is co-sponsored by the Community's specific RTD programme in the field of the environment (1990-1994) providing an opportunity for environmental health scientists from this programme to meet colleagues involved in the STEP programme (Science and Technology for Environmental Protection, 1989-1992), share results, and coordinate research activities more effectively.

The meeting also provides an excellent forum for wide discussion of many of the issues involved in environmental mutagenesis and how the Commission may act through support and coordination of research in the Community to mitigate the problem. The main topics at this year's Conference will be:

- Molecular analysis of mutagenesis and DNA repair;
- Insertional mutagenesis;
- Somatic mutation and recombination;
- Mutagenesis and carcinogenesis;
- New trends in genetic toxicology;
- Human biomonitoring;
- Genetic risk assessment;
- In vitro/in vivo genotoxicology testing;
- Metabolism of mutagens and carcinogens;
- Clastogenicity and aneuploidy.
