Mixtures Specialty Section Teleseminar was Spectacular Success
The SOT Mixtures Specialty Section held a teleseminar on June 13, 2008, titled, “Progress made by the European NoMiracle Project: NOvel Methods for Integrated Risk Assessment of CumuLative Stressors in Europe.” NoMiracle is a European scientific effort to develop and harmonize mixture ecological and human risk assessment tools for exposure to multiple stressors (chemical mixtures). The content in the seminar was of potential interest to toxicologists and risk assessors involved in risk assessment for chemical mixtures both at the level of human health and ecosystem.
This teleseminar was organized by Mixtures SS member Sami Haddad, who is a professor at the University of Québec in Montreal. The presentation was delivered from the United Kingdom by David Spurgeon from NERC, Center for Ecology and Hydrology.
A total of 65 locations phoned in and approximately 100 participants were on the call. View the PowerPoint presentation prepared by Dr. Spurgeon posted on the Mixtures SS Web site.
Funds are available from the Society of Toxicology for six teleseminars a year, on a first-come, first-served basis. Specialty Sections are encouraged to apply.
