The specialized book "Assessment of the Toxicogenetic Properties of Chemical Substances" offers a comprehensive analysis of the genotoxicity of chemical substances. The authors present an innovative method for evaluating the genotoxicity of water samples, encompassing both individual chemical compounds and their mixtures. This method is particularly relevant for the investigation of industrial wastewater of varying degrees of treatment, as well as for the analysis of surface waters. The use of Daphnia as test organisms allows for a detailed examination of the effects on the reproduction and survival of these organisms. The results are supported by quantitative indicators that consider both lethal and sublethal effects, as well as morphological mutations in the second generation of Daphnia. This book is aimed at professionals and students in the fields of toxicology, environmental sciences, and chemistry who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the toxicogenetic properties of chemical substances.
