The AltTox Community Blog (previously known as AltTox Forum) is a message board intended to encourage information exchange, commentary and discussion of science and policy issues related to non-animal methods of toxicity testing.
It is part of AltTox.org, a website dedicated to advancing non-animal methods of toxicity testing through online discussion and information exchange, including a newsletter.
The scope of the Blog is the same as for AltTox.org in general: scientific and policy information related to non-animal methods for toxicity testing. The Blog is a communications platform that provides an opportunity for stakeholders in industry, government, academia, and nongovernmental organizations to establish an online community to exchange information and discuss challenges and opportunities to advancing non-animal methods for toxicity testing. The AltTox Management Team envisions the Blog as a driving force for positive change.
Everyone visiting AltTox.org is welcome to browse and read Community Blog messages. However, registration is required prior to posting a message to the forum. Anonymous postings are not allowed, and messages beyond the scope of AltTox or otherwise inappropriate will be removed.
The forum is moderated by experts in the field of non-animal methods of toxicity testing. The forum moderators monitor postings as well as initiate and participate in message threads.
The scope of the forum includes past, present, and possible future activities relevant to the development, validation, peer review, regulatory acceptance, implementation, and/or international harmonization of non-animal methods for assessing the toxic effects of substances; the general application of various non-animal technologies to toxicity testing; relevant legislation (e.g. REACH; the EU Cosmetics Directive); stakeholder efforts to address such legislation; large-scale testing programs (e.g. endocrine disruption); sector-specific testing (e.g. pesticides); validation efforts related to these programs and sectors; government policies on animal testing and alternatives; lobbying efforts to influence such programs and policies; relevant grant and educational programs; overarching scientific, logistical, and/or policy issues that are perceived as challenges or barriers to progress; and opportunities to accelerate progress.
