AnthroTox brings together social anthropologists, historians and STS-scholars, environmental toxicologists and chemists, to understand how environmental, social and political-economic processes shape flows and impacts of toxicants across societies and ecosystems, and to contribute to public debate, policy processes and remedial action.
