内容简介：
【组织简介】 Committee on Carcinogenicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment (COC) is an independent advisory committee that provides advice to Government Departments and Agencies on matters concerning the potential carcinogenicity of chemicals ranging from natural products to new synthetic chemicals used in pesticides or pharmaceuticals.
COC consists of a panel of independent doctors and scientists recruited from Universities, Research institutes and, in some cases, industry, recruited for their individual expertise. During all discussions individuals are required to declare potential conflicts of interest and in such cases disqualify themselves from the conclusions.
The independent members of COC are supported in their work by a joint secretariat provided by the Department of Health and the Food Standards Agency. The secretariat provide members with comprehensive background information and briefing papers upon which rational decisions can be made.
