520 8 Annotation Here is the first historical and sociological
account of the formation of an interdisciplinary science
known as genetic toxicology, and of the scientists' social
movement that created it. After research geneticists
discovered that synthetic chemical were capable of
changing the genetic structure of living organisms,
scientists began to explore how these chemicals affected
gene structure and function. In the late 1960s, a small
group of biologists became concerned that chemical
mutagens represented a serious and possibly global
environmental threat. Genetic toxicology is nurtured as
much by public culture as by professional practices,
reflecting the interplay of genetics research and
environmental politics. Drawing on a wealth of resources,
Scott Frickel examines the creation of this field through
the lens of social movement theory. He reveals how a
committed group of scientist-activists transformed
chemical mutagens into environmental problems, mobilized
existing research networks, recruited scientists and
politicians, secured financial resources, and developed
new ways of acquiring knowledge. The result is a book that
vividly illustrates how science and activism were
interwoven to create a discipline that remains a defining
feature of environmental health science.
