Division of Genetics and Mutagenesis

There are many chemical substances exist in our living environment. Some classes of chemical substances affect a gene causing cancers which are so-called "Genotoxic Carcinogens". Our mission is to identify genotoxic chemicals, evaluate the risk to humans, and remove or reduce them from our environment through administrative regulations.
