Committee Purpose

Committee objectives:

  • To promote and disseminate research in environmental health toxicology.
  • To bring together scientists and enhance collaboration and communication among groups working in the field.
  • To establish recommendations in the field (bioanalytical validation).
  • To educate IATDMCT members on advances and opportunities in the area.

Scope of the Committee:

  • Assessment of human exposure to environmental contaminants through the use human biomonitoring.
  • Optimization of human biomonitoring targets through the development of biomarkers, bio-analytical methods, toxicokinetics and toxicokinetic modeling (physiologically-based toxicokinetic modeling).
  • Potential linkage of exposure to environmental contaminants and clinical effects and application to laboratory medicine.
  • Exposome assessment for health promotion and health risk assessment.
  • Support the program for the 2021 conference in Rome with 1 symposium and 1 roundtable.
  • Contribution to COMPASS.
  • Finalizing the Guideline on bioanalytical validation in Environmental Toxicology.
  • Proposal for a joint symposium with Society of Toxicology.
  • 18th International Congress of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Clinical Toxicology, Sept 14-16 2019, Virtual Congress
