The British Toxicology Society has over 900 members (as of January 2020) who are based in over 40 countries.
The remit of the Society is to promote the advancement of the science of toxicology, for public benefit.
Members of the Society work in academic, governmental and industrial organisations, to understand scientific mechanisms responsible for adverse effects (toxicity) and to protect the public and the environment from exposure to potentially hazardous substances, including chemicals and medicines.
The annual scientific meeting of the British Toxicology Society (Congress) is usually held at a Conference centre of a UK city, in April of each year.
