BelTox

It is the objective of BelTox to improve the practices in hazard and risk assessment of chemicals in Belgium by promoting the regular exchange of science among students and professionals from scientific institutions, academia, authorities, industry, consulting companies and contract research organisations in the fields of toxicology and ecotoxicology.

The scope of its activities includes the study of potential adverse effects to health and the environment of a large variety of natural and man-made substances.

These substances include environmental pollutants, industrial chemicals, pesticides, biocides, food contaminants, food additives, cosmetics, human and veterinary medicines, natural toxins and genetically modified organisms. BelTox was officially established in June 1989 and is member of the European Societies of Toxicology (EUROTOX).
