AGC and Environmental Health Science at GC&E 2011
How do we approach toxicology? What guidelines can we establish to limit toxicity? What are our tools to assess toxicity? How are toxic chemicals already affecting our bodies? AGC and Environmental Health Sciences hosted a special series of sessions to explore these issues and more at the Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference June 22, 2011 in Wash, DC.
