Operational Toxicology in the Navy

Abstract
The rapid development of new materials and military chemicals and the concurrent development of nuclear-powered submarines and space vehicles, has necessitated the search for a new body of toxicity data and a new frame of reference. As a result of this need the U. S. Navy Toxicology Unit was established. This paper describes the mission of the new unique unit, and outlines some of the assignments completed during 1960 as a direct assist to fleet operations.
