title: [Industrial toxicology and ecological toxicology].
abstract: The development of the chemical industry and subsequent intensive use of chemical products in other industrial branches, incl. e.g. agriculture, leads to the demand of hygienic and ecological wholesomeness. A sufficiently accurate background for this evaluation can be provided by experimental disciplines such as toxicology and ecotoxicology. The contemporary development of their methodology has reached a state which provides adequate guarantees for their application in particular in legislative activities. Not only final products are evaluated but also intermediary products in chemical production and finally also waste products. Evaluations of biological wholesomeness are implemented within the framework of international cooperation at levels which make it possible to use the results of toxicological and ecotoxicological evaluation also in other countries. With regard to the extensive character of the subject, attention is paid in the submitted paper in particular to basic toxicological and ecotoxicological tests.
