From 11th to 12th September 2024 at Hall MR 224-225, BITEC Exhibition and Convention Center, Bangna, Bangkok.

Associate Professor Dr. Songsak Srianuchat, President of the Society of Toxicology of Thailand The conference organizer said: “This conference focuses on the important role of toxicologists in building a sustainable society. Giving importance to the impact on health and environment. which is a pressing issue in today’s world Through the presentation of information from research studies that have empirical evidence. exchange together and transfer current knowledge Ready to convey the correct understanding can be referenced according to academic principles to communicate to consumers.” One of the major causes of health and environmental impacts today is the rapid development of technology, industry and agriculture. To meet the growing needs of consumers, such as the introduction of new technologies in the food industry. or various substitutes in food products The use of various chemicals can cause pollution and residues in the environment and the human body. Including climate change caused by human actions. Causing air pollution such as PM2.5, etc., these are all major risk factors leading to disease. Especially cancer, which kills many people around the world.

Therefore, the exchange of knowledge and experience of toxicology researchers is of great significance in monitoring and preventing health problems caused by the rapid development of production technology and innovation. Information on the risks of using chemicals that affect health and the environment was presented at the conference, and guidelines for using alternative substances to solve environmental pollution problems were presented. The problem of natural toxins in food that can kill consumers is a constant issue both at home and abroad, such as deaths due to consumption of food contaminated with bronchiric acid toxins. Even if it occurs abroad in the Asian region, knowing the mechanism of poisoning will be a guideline for surveillance to avoid the danger of life-threatening poisoning. In addition to the above mentioned issues, the academic conference also presented various interesting topics such as Safety assessment of mycotoxins in food Knowledge of regulatory development and quality assessment and safety of various protein alternatives Application of alternative toxicological testing methods to reduce the use of animals to assess internationally accepted safety. As well as case studies of clinical toxicology including current information on paracetamol poisoning. Medication errors related to patient safety risks, etc.

The meeting will be held within 2 days by the Society of Toxicology of Thailand. As one of the organizations that play an important role as a center for collecting the latest research and studies in toxicology, academic works will be published to provide a platform for exchange. The experience of toxicologist Contribute to promoting social development in a safe and sustainable way
