IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD: There are few true international meetings dedicated to covering multiple areas of toxicology. The XII International Congress of Toxicology (IUTOX) held from 19 to 23 July 2010 in Barcelona, Spain is one such meeting. The IUTOX is important as its emphasis is on chemical safety and integrating approaches and alternative possibilities to protecting public health. The meeting was an important forum with professional interactions in different subspecialties of toxicology addressing these current topics.
AREAS COVERED IN THIS REVIEW: The basis of toxic effects including mechanistic, effects testing, monitoring and alternative methods are covered in this meeting highlights article. Coverage of industry, clinical toxicologists, environmentalists, regulators and technological developers is provided.
WHAT THE READER WILL GAIN: Insight into the coverage of topics discussed at the XII IUTOX meeting.
TAKE HOME MESSAGE: Current topics in toxicology with international impact are presently centered on new testing strategies, biomarkers and understanding mechanisms of toxicity to help address the safety and risk of substances relevant to public health.
