The Environmental Mutagen Society (EMS) was one of the first professional scientific societies organized to respond to an environmental concern. The threat of environmental pollution stimulated the formation of the organization in 1969. The Society's mission was to create a forum for discussion of methods and strategies to deal with mutagenic agents formed and/or released into the environment. During the past 25 years, EMS has provided a forum for innovation and scientific discussions. The Environmental Mutagen Society, and, in particular, its applied role in genetic toxicology, has had a profound positive impact on many disciplines in toxicology and safety assessment (i.e., carcinogenesis and in vitro alternatives). © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
