Within the 12 Member States of the European Community (EC), environmental policy is now formulated primarily at Community level. As a result, the EC has important regulatory responsibilities for the protection of workers, consumers, and the general public from risks that may arise from environmental chemicals, foremost among them potential carcinogens and mutagens. An important part of EC environmental research and development is intended to provide a scientific basis for these regulations as well as increasing understanding of the basic mechanisms involved in environmental carcinogenesis and mutagenesis. This paper contains a brief introduction to EC environment policy and research, followed by an overview of EC chemicals control activities that are of particular relevance to the research and development program. Community-level research on environmental mutagenesis and carcinogenesis is then reviewed in some detail, including the achievements of recent projects, the scientific content of the current program, and perspectives for the future.
在欧洲共同体（欧共体）的12个成员国中，环境政策目前主要在共同体层面制定。因此，欧共体在保护工人、消费者和公众免受环境化学品可能带来的风险方面负有重要的监管责任，其中最主要的是潜在的致癌物和诱变剂。欧共体环境研究与开发的一个重要部分旨在为这些法规提供科学依据，并增进对环境致癌作用和诱变作用所涉及的基本机制的理解。本文简要介绍了欧共体的环境政策和研究，随后概述了与研究和开发计划特别相关的欧共体化学品控制活动。然后详细回顾了共同体层面关于环境诱变和致癌的研究，包括近期项目的成果、当前计划的科学内容以及未来展望。
