At the annual meeting of the Society of Toxicology in Seattle last month, a record-breaking 4,000 toxicologist had their pick of sessions ranging from free radicals in toxicology to a debate between Bruce Ames and I. Bernard Weinstein over mechanisms of cancer causation. Some of the sessions that provided the hottest debate were a pair on mercury and human health and on some manmade fibers that could be as dangerous as asbestos. And of topical interest were another pair- on toxic waste in eastern Europe and the aftereffects of the war in Kuwait.
