Toxicology has contributed enormously to environmental and human health.
During the past 50 years significant rules and regulations were enacted to
protect and enhance human and ecological health, often following a serious
toxicological event. Most notably, toxicological sciences have shaped drug
development through the U.S. FDA and chemical use through the U.S. EPA.
Workplace exposure and health issues are addressed by OSHA and NIOSH.
There is increasing concern about low-dose effects on the developing organisms
of not only humans but also animals. Our panel of experts will review
how advances in toxicological sciences over the past 50 years have driven
the regulatory, societal, and medical view of key toxicants. After examination
of some key contributions to the field, we will reflect on how advances
in the science of toxicology will shape the future environment regarding
drug and chemical development and use.
