The National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council (NAS/NRC) was asked by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to conduct a study of the scientific basis, current state of development, validation, and use of biological markers in environmental health research. The project is being conducted by four subcommittees of the Committee on Biological Markers within NRC's Board of Environmental Studies and Toxicology. As part of this project, the Subcommittee on Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology convened a symposium January 12-13, 1987, in Washington, DC. Invited speakers described their research and its possible application to the development and use of biological markers. This issue of Environmental Health Perspectives contains the proceedings of that symposium.
