Asian Toxicology Conference Tour.

摘要

The Asian Toxicology Conference Tour sucessfully induced enthusiastic responses and active interactions between American and Asian toxicologists and health care agencies. Educational and technological transfers and opportunities were made available to those countries which need awareness and training in toxicological sciences. The American scientists gained first hand information on many of the unique toxicological problems in Asia, toxicities of oriental medicinal herbs, industrial and occupational toxicological problems and managements, etc. Much human exposure data on various toxic chemicals were also available for clinical/experimental correlations. Thus, this project has provided mutual benefits to the American scientists, as well as to the Asian countries visited. As a result of this Asian Conference Tour, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, and India are now interested in the possibility of forming a Federation of Asian Toxicologists to continue such scientific exchange and interaction.
