| Abstract |
In this review, possible means of occupational and non-occupational exposure are discussed. In addition to the epoxides themselves, unsaturated compounds that may be metabolised in vivo to epoxides are included. Carcinogenicity and mutagenicity are discussed, with a brief outline of the mebatolism, binding to cell constituents, and DNA repair mechanisms. Interactions between different epoxides in vivo are considered. |
