Such studies should start with the original production operations of the carcinogens. They should follow them through the consuming industries and trades and finally be applied to the home environment of the ultimate public consumer as well as to the local and regional general environment. The ultimate consumer becomes exposed to these agents not only when they are present as ingredients, impurities and contaminants of consumer goods but also when they pollute water, air, soil, fauna, and flora (HUEPER; KIVILUOTO; WAGLER; MUELLER and ANSPACH; NEWHOUSE).
