Toxicological Sciences, the official SOT journal, is distributed monthly in print and electronically. The journal publishes premier peer-reviewed, hypothesis-driven, original research articles that are broadly relevant to assessing the potentially adverse health effects resulting from exposure of humans or animals to chemicals, drugs, natural products, or synthetic materials. Studies may involve experimental animals or human subjects, or they may focus on in vitro methods or alternatives to the use of experimental animals. Sections include original research, reviews, forum articles on policy or research issues, editorials, letters to the editor, and supplementary data guidelines. 

Dr. Landis has served on numerous governmental committees and has consulted for industry, NGOs, print and electronic media, and federal (U.S. and Canada), state, provincial, and local governments. He has served as a member of the Board of Directors for the society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry North America and participated in numerous other committees for the Society. He also spent 5 years on the Committee on Publications for the American Society for Testing and Materials. 

Modem technologies in electronics, in high-purity materials and chemical reagents, in toxicology. biology, and environmental control and protection need extremely sensitive analytical techniques. Impurity concentrations at and below pg/mL (pg/g) levels are state-of-the-art for many analyses. In many cases the sample volume is very... 

There are numerous epidemiological studies reported by various industry sectors, as well as a library of electronic data bases available providing information on toxicological properties, chemical subility and fire safety. These are essential references that should be consulted if the basic information required caimot be obtained from this handbook. In all cases, the reader needs to determine how best to access the required information in an expedient manner. On any one chemical, a separate and extensive treatise can be (and probably has been) compiled, but it is particularly true when responding to a hazard materials incident, that only the most crucial and pertinent data is needed in order to formulate a safe and effective initial response. An attempt to organize safety information based on risk category (i.e., fire hazard, chemical stability, and health risk) has been made in the handbook hence the user... 

The goal of the NCMS project was to determine whether safe, reliable, nontoxic, and cost-effective substitutes exist for lead-bearing solders in electronics manufacturing. The scope of the project was based on the following premise the production of durable, reliable, safe, and affordable electronic products with lead-free solders will require the manufacturer to understand material properties, manufacturing processes and equipment, toxicological effects, alloy cost, long-term availability, and reliability.
