Organic compounds are emphasized as a central theme and focus. The discussion is not limited to the organics, and this emphasis on organics does not reflect a lesser importance of inorganics as potential environmental human health hazards. The discussion further suggests the need for enhanced research effort in this area, particularly to enhance understanding of the effects of toxic trace metals and their relevant species in the environment.
