This symposium series provides a platform for scientists from around the world to discuss the latest developments in understanding levels of toxicity and mechanisms of action for chemicals of global concern to better inform regulatory toxicology focused on public health and environmental safety. Current advances in the fields of toxicity assessment, biomarkers and bioindicators, environmental chemistry and green chemistry, remediation and mitigation technologies will be covered.
ISTA 18 is a unique opportunity to bring together researchers, professionals, administrators, regulators, non-governmental organizations and policy-makers to exchange ideas, identify research, and determine resource needs, in order to support better management of ecosystem health and minimize risks to public health.
