American College of Toxicology

The American College of Toxicology (ACT) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing scientific research and understanding of how chemicals and substances affect living organisms. It brings together toxicologists—experts who study potential health risks of chemicals, drugs, and environmental exposures—to promote safety, develop regulations, and share knowledge. ACT supports education, collaboration, and the dissemination of scientific findings to protect human health and the environment. Its members work in industry, government, academia, and consulting, contributing to responsible chemical use and safety assessments.
