In honor of its fiftieth anniversary the Society of Toxicology teamed up with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the National Toxicology Program, and Environmental Health Perspectives to produce a poster celebrating some of the foremost “benchmarks” of the field. In this podcast Peter Goering tells host Ashley Ahearn how he and other members of the evaluation group chose f...

In response to Congress, the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) is preparing a study on the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to evaluate the Existing Chemicals Program. The purpose of the Chemical Testing and Screening Workshop was to identify the present and future methods of screening and testing of commercial chemicals using nine specific endpoints, one being environmental toxicology (...

Environmental health information resources lack exposure data required to translate molecular insights, elucidate environmental contributions to diseases, and assess human health and ecological risks. We report development of an Exposure Ontology, ExO, designed to address this information gap by facilitating centralization and integration of exposure data. Major concepts were defined and the on...

OBJECTIVE Thousands of chemicals are in common use, but only a portion of them have undergone significant toxicologic evaluation, leading to the need to prioritize the remainder for targeted testing. To address this issue, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other organizations are developing chemical screening and prioritization programs. As part of these efforts, it is importan...
