A Review of the Toxicology Research Program of the 6570th Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio

Abstract

The Committee on Toxicology of the National Academy of Sciences- National Research Council, concluded that there is good reason for the Air Force to maintain an independent laboratory for toxicology research. It found the toxicology evaluation program to be functioning well and providing information and services adequate for Air Force needs. It reported that the methods are appropriate, the research is productive, and the program is relevant to the Air Force needs. It noted that the Air Force has established cooperative programs with other federal and civilian agencies to avoid duplication of effort on common problems. It suggested that some auxiliary functions, e.g., the advisory function and fundamental research, could be strengthened.
