This volume contains the main papers presented at the 1997 EUROTOX Congress, Århus, Denmark, 24-28 June 1997. Diversification in toxicology is seen as the application of basic science to such diverse areas as man and his environment. The pressing issues which have been dealt with not only include reproductive effects of environmental chemicals ("xenoestrogens"), but also receptor-mediated toxic responses, new frontiers in human and ecological toxicology, chemoprevention of cancer and molecular approaches in toxicological research. The practical and ethical facets of toxicology, e.g. ecotoxicological risk assessment, biomarkers of exposure, complex chemical mixtures as well as animal welfare and the ethics of animal experimentation, are also treated.
TOC: Animals as Models in Toxicoloy: Animal Welfare and Ethics.- Ecotoxicological Risk Assessment.- Effects of Environmental Chemicals on Reproduction.- Biomarkers of Exposure.- Current Molecular Approaches in Toxicology.- Chemoprevention.- Regulatory Immunotoxicology: The Scientists' Point of View.- Novel Issues of Risk Assessment of Chemical Carcinogens.- Complex Mixtures.- Receptor Mediated Toxic Responses.- New Frontiers in Human and Ecological Toxicology: Determining Genetic vs. Environmental Causes of Susceptibility.- Extrahepatic Metabolism in Target Organ Toxicity.
