Welcome to the Web site of the Mixtures Specialty Section of the Society
of Toxicology (SOT). The Mixtures Specialty Section was approved by the
SOT and inaugurated at the 2006 SOT Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA.
Its objectives are to:
- Serve as the focal point for interaction of members of the Society
of Toxicology interested in mixtures toxicology.
- Develop, propose, and conduct programs and educational activities
that emphasize the latest developments in mixtures toxicology.
- Relate those developments to the activities of the Society of Toxicology
and to stimulate new growth in mixtures toxicology as it relates to
the science of toxicology.
- Act as a resource to the Society in the area of the Section’s
interest.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or other feedback about this
web site or any activities of the Specialty Section, please contact any
of the MSS Officers.

Risk Assessment Specialty Section (RASS) and
Mixtures Specialty Section (MSS)
Monthly Co-Sponsored Webinar
Wednesday November 9 from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm (EDT)
Topic: “Risk from Multiple Chemicals in Polluted Communities”
Presenter:
Christopher J. Portier, PhD, Director
National Center for Environmental Health
Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
Centers for Disease Control
Abstract:
Evaluating the effects of a mixture of chemical agents affecting a
community is an important issue for the Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry. In this talk, I will detail an experimental process
that ATSDR is using to evaluate multiple hazards at the same site. The
method, based on relative risks rather than dose, allows us to combine
risks across multiple routes and for multiple chemicals. Mechanistic
information is used to decide how to combine the risks.
