Coordinator(s): J.
Duffus and H.
Worth
Remarks: in cooperation with CTC and WHO
Completion Date: 2001 - project completed
Objective:
The project envisages the preparation of teaching texts on risk
assessment for college students; an abbreviated version of the textbook:
Toxicology
for Chemists.
Progress:
A first draft was prepared and reviewed during the Berlin GA (Aug.
99). A draft is being tested by a postgraduate student of Prof.
Bucat in Australia, and has been used as the basis of a workshop
at the International
Congress on Chemical Education ion Budapest, in August 2000.
This should lead to a final draft which will be presented to the
CTC for their approval. The final product will be a resource for
Chemistry teachers to use, as appropriate for their students, to
introduce the students to key fundamental concepts in toxicology
relevant to the safe use of chemicals.
