The Toxicological Council is an expert body, managed by the Swedish Chemicals Agency (KemI), providing scientific advice and consultation on toxicological issues to government agencies within the environmental sector. The different affiliations of the members contribute to improved contacts between researchers and agencies. 

Scientific issues, guidance and aim for consensus
