Interpretation and Extrapolation of Reproductive Data to Establish Human Safety Standards

The International Life Sciences Institute (!LSI) is a scientific foundation that addresses critical health and safety issues of national and international con­ cern. ILSI promotes international cooperation by providing the mechanism for scientists from government, industry, and universities to work...
