PMCID: PMC1567836  PMID: 2269235

Abstract

The paper describes deliberations of a meeting between scientists from the U.S. National Toxicology Program and the National Institute of Hygienic Sciences, Tokyo, Japan. The scientific approaches and experimental processes used by each organization in designing, conducting, and evaluating the short-term and long-term toxicity/carcinogenicity of environmental chemicals were evaluated.
