Abstract

Addressing emerging chemical safety issues requires the presence of qualified professionals in the country. Currently, a speciality «toxicology» is included in the range of medical disciplines but it only applies to clinical toxicologists. Physicians of preventive health profile, who are actually involved in toxicity and hazards assessment of chemicals, prevention and risk assessment of their impact on human health and human environment are not thought of as toxicologists in accordance with the existing legal and regulatory framework. The article also raises questions about the necessity of teaching preventive toxicology at the various stages of continuous medical education.
