The Environmental Health Program of the Pan American Health Organization has established goals to be able to comply with the resolutions of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee. As an integral part of the Environmental Health Program, the Pan American Center for Human Ecology and Health (ECO) must contribute to the achievement of these goals. Generally speaking, there is a scarcity of toxicology professionals in the Region of the Americas. In order to ameliorate this situation, it is suggested that activities in the areas of training professionals, conducting research, dissemination of information, and publishing of educational materials be undertaken. It is proposed that the "Joint Toxicology Network at the Regional Level" be created. The objectives of such a network would be the promotion and encouragement of activities in the area of toxicology; assistance to countries in identifying their needs; encouragement of information exchange, publication and training in toxicology; and support of the Toxicology Information Centers. In order to achieve the Network objectives, it is suggested that activities be undertaken by the national groups belonging to the network.
泛美卫生组织的环境卫生项目已确立目标，以便能够遵守董事会和执行委员会的决议。作为环境卫生项目的一个组成部分，泛美人类生态与健康中心（ECO）必须为实现这些目标做出贡献。一般来说，美洲地区毒理学专业人员匮乏。为改善这种状况，建议开展专业人员培训、研究、信息传播以及教育材料出版等领域的活动。提议创建“区域一级联合毒理学网络”。这样一个网络的目标将是促进和鼓励毒理学领域的活动；协助各国确定其需求；鼓励毒理学方面的信息交流、出版和培训；以及支持毒理学信息中心。为实现该网络目标，建议由该网络的国家小组开展活动。
