Information on Committee Members 213 mainly in two broad areas, namely inhalation toxicology and dose- response relationships for long-term biological effects produced by internally deposited radionuclides. He has been particularly interested in the conduct of animal experimentation to develop infonnation that may be used to predict the consequences of accidental exposure to humans and to establish standards that ensure the safe and orderly conduct of activities that may result in release of toxic agents to the environment.
