Prepared by a 54-member task group, the book emphasizes methodological advances that have either confirmed the value of established principles for safety assessment or permitted the development of new procedures offering greater sensitivity and predictive value. The objective is to set out basic principles for conducting toxicological studies and preparing specifications for identity and purity that can be applied in a broad range of situations. The book, which expertly interprets and synthesizes advances from several different disciplines, will serve as a useful reference for toxicologists interested in applying the most sensitive and accurate principles for safety assessment ER -
