ABSTRACT
The most important part of any toxicology evaluation program is the initial overall process of developing an adequate date package to define the potential hazards associated with the manufacture, sale, use and disposal of a product. This process calls for asking a series of very interactive questions, with many of the questions serving to identify and/or modify their successors. This book is designed as a companion and guide to the acute toxicity aspects of such a process, and this chapter intended as a step-by-step guide to what should be the essential, ac companying process of question-asking.
