Committee on Toxicity
The Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment (COT) is a UK independent scientific committee that provides advice to the Food Standards Agency, the Department of Health and other government departments and agencies on matters concerning the toxicity of chemicals.[1]
It has a number of working groups that publish reports, e.g. previously on phytoestrogens. [2] It also works with other scientific advisory committees to develop new guidance, for example for the integration of epidemiological and toxicological evidence.[3]
Pharmacologist Frank Woods was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2001 Birthday Honours, for services to the committee.[4]
The current chair is toxicologist Professor Alan Boobis.[5]
