PETA Science Consortium International Coauthors Paper Highlighting Issues With Tests on Rats

A paper coauthored by PETA Science Consortium International e.V. and published in Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology shows how differences in the respiratory tracts of humans and rats make tests on rats an unreliable predictor of what happens when humans inhale a substance—and why non-animal tests should be used instead. The paper will be referenced around the world and used in combination with other work from the Science Consortium to help replace the use of rats in inhalation toxicity testing.
