Mission statement
It is the objective of BelTox to improve the practices in hazard and risk assessment of chemicals in Belgium by promoting the regular exchange of science among students and professionals from scientific institutions, academia, authorities, industry, consulting companies and contract research organisations in the fields of toxicology and ecotoxicology.
