Reference laboratories are important resources within animal disease diagnosis. These are internationally recognised facilities that have a combination of skilled personnel, validated diagnostic tests, reagents and appropriate archive material. The European Union Reference Laboratory (EURL-FISH) is funded by the EU Commission and is located in the national veterinary institute, Aarhus, Denmark. The main purpose of the EURL is to ensure high quality of all fish diagnostics performed in the member states of the EU. Furthermore this aids in the harmonisation of the protocols and methodologies applied for the various fish diseases, as described in Council Directive 2006/88/EC. The EURL is primarily concerned with notifiable viral diseases of fish (www.crl-fish.eu).

A review of the case-control studies conducted by the National Cancer Institute, principally on non-Hodgkin s lymphomas, has not established a causal association between atrazine use and the occurrence of this disease (De Roos et al., 2003). This conclusion has also been reached in numerous authoritative reviews (USEPA, 2003a, b International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), 1999 United Kingdom (UK), 1996, 2000 Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA, 2004).

Industrial and environmental sources cause most modern cases of arsenic poisoning. A National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health study in 1975 estimated that 1.5 million workers had potential exposure to arsenic (Hartman 1988). Poisonings have resulted from veterinary compounds, paints, herbicides, pesticides, rodenti-cides, treated lumber, and Chinese herbal products (Garvey et al. 2001 Gosselin et al. 1984 Peters et al. 1983). Table 7-1 lists occupations with the greatest risk of exposure to arsenic.
