Description
/li>
Consumer and environmental protection depends on the careful regulation of
all classes of chemicals. Toxicology is the key science used to evaluate
safety and so underpins regulatory decisions on chemicals. This book is
the first to cover regulatory toxicology in Europe and addresses the need
for a wider understanding of the principles of regulatory toxicology and
their application. It will be an essential reference to regulatory
authorities, industry, and toxicologists working across the European Union
and for those based in other countries trying to understand and comply
with European Union regulations. The editors are regulatory toxicologists
with wide experiences in UK government departments with first-hand
experience of chemical regulation. Each chapter will cover the history of
regulation in Europe, current regulation in Europe, the role of European
agencies and institutions and the use of toxicology data for important
classes of chemicals, including human and veterinary medicinal products,
animal feed and food additives, biocides, pesticides and nanomaterials.
