Immunotoxicity

Guidance for immunotoxicity risk assessment

Guidance for immunotoxicity risk assessment for chemicals has been developed by WHO/IPCS with the assistance of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Immunotoxicity and Hypersensitivity, RIVM, Bilthoven.

This activity builds on the WHO/IPCS Environmental Health Criteria (EHC) documents on immunotoxicology, i.e.

  • EHC 180 on "Principles and Methods for Assessing Direct Immunotoxicity Associated with Exposure to Chemicals"
  • EHC 212 on "Principles and Methods for Assessing Allergic Hypersensitization Associated with Exposure to Chemicals"
  • EHC 236 on "Principles and Methods for Assessing Autoimmunity Associated with Exposure to Chemicals"
