Elaborates on naturally occuring carcinogens in food materials, in working environment and consumer products like dyes. The effects of various consumer products like oils,fats, protein foods and non-metallic and metallic substances used in consumer products have been reviewed. The long-term effects on skin such as dermatitis and irritation due to various chemicals used in consumer products have been elucidated. The effects of tetratogens and hazards due to packing materials have also been examined. Finally, the need for safety in raw materials has also emphasised as important for elimination of toxic effects.
