Toxicity Testing: Strategies to Determine Needs and Priorities

By National Research Council, Division on Earth and Life Studies, Commission on Life Sciences

Prepared at the request of the National Toxicology Program, this landmark report reveals that many chemicals used in pesticides, cosmetics, drugs, food, and commerce have not been sufficiently tested to allow a complete determination of their potential hazards. Given the vast number of chemical substances to which humans are exposed, the authors use a model to show how research priorities for toxicity testing can be set.
