Abstract: Abstract Risk assessment of environmental pollutants is an absolutely essential tool in the overall process of protecting public health. Risk assessment needs reliable scientific information and one source of information is the characterization of metabolic fate and toxicokinetics of environmental pollutants. The aim of in vitro characterization is to produce relevant information on metabolism and interactions to anticipate and ultimately predict what happens in vivo in humans. Because human data is most appropriate to improve human risk assess...
