It highlights HPV as a biological carcinogen linked to cervical cancer via oncogenes (E6, E7), and details ionizing radiation as a physical carcinogen damaging DNA. Additionally, it covers chemical carcinogens that require metabolism for effectiveness. Overall, reducing exposure to known carcinogens is emphasized as a method to lower cancer risk.

Evidence varies regarding cancer incidence linked to radiation exposure, with some areas showing high background radiation without increased cancer rates.

These mice contain a DNA vector with elements of E. coli's lac operon. When exposed to suspected carcinogens, mutations in lacI or the operator can lead to the production of beta-galactosidase. This DNA is then used to create bacteriophages that infect E. coli, resulting in clear and blue plaques; blue plaques indicate higher mutation frequency due to beta-galactosidase production.
