The Occupational Exposures Work Group was formed to address occupational exposure and health issues relevant to multiple societies.
The group is currently focusing on these activities:
- Reproductive Toxicity
Several educational sessions have been delivered at toxicology and industrial health meetings internationally. A manuscript based on these sessions was published in Toxicology and Industrial Health (see Resources tab).
- Ototoxicity
Ototoxicity is a chronic health concern that is gaining more attention in the occupational sphere. The Work Group has gathered material to share with SLC members.
