Science & Research Highlights ACC’s Science & Research Highlights Communicate Information on Scientific Research Projects by ACC Programs and Departments ACC’s Science & Research Highlights are short summaries designed to communicate key features of ACC-sponsored research, including relevance and impacts. While many of the research activities described in Science & Research Highlights are LRI-supported, research projects from other ACC organizations are often included as well. Recently completed Science & Research Highlights are listed below: ACC Science & Research at the Society of Toxicology Virtual Meeting March 12-26, 2021 Improving exposure modeling of chemicals in the indoor environment from dust and surfaces Internal Threshold of Toxicological Concern (iTTC): Where we are today and what is possible in the near future?
