Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS 46 the full potential of alternatives is to be realised, This emphasis also results from the first paper in though it would have benefitted from more text and the first main session, entitled Introduction to the fewer references. However, sadly, when subjected Problem Area, by Arthur Upton (New York to the more critical scrutiny of the scientist, it will University Medical Center), who describes an in­ be found wanting. depth analysis (supported by a number of excellent and informative tables) of the available toxicity Gilly Griffin data on a random sample of 100 drugs, pesticides, cosmetics, food additives and industrial chemicals selected from 53,500 chemicals identified by the US National Academy of Sciences. The conclusion is that, for the vast majority, including most of the CHEMICALS TESTING AND ANIMAL drugs, the amount of data available was too small to permit even a partial health and safety WELFARE assessment. For 70% of the chemicals in the Obtainable from: National Chemicals Inspectorate, sample, no toxicity information at all was available. P.O.
