"With expertise in dietborne metals, nutrition, and regulation of metals in the aquatic environment, scientists and policy specialists convened at a SETAC Pellston Workshop to address digestive physiology, chemistry, and nutrition related to dietborne metals; laboratory studies of toxic effects of dietborne metals; field studies of toxic effects of dietborne metals; and incorporation of dietborne metals exposure into regulatory frameworks. The output from that workshop, Toxicity of Dietborne Metals to Aquatic Organisms, lays a foundation for reconsideration of the fate and potential effects of ingested metals in aquatic ecosystems, paves the way for major advances in the testing and regulation of dietborne metals, and encourages multimedia approaches to metals in aquatic ecosystems.
