Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of past and current research conducted in laboratories and on exposed populations in the Asia-Pacific region. Countries in this region actively conducting some research include Australia, China and Japan. Other countries in the region may be conducting research but have either published locally in journals not available outside the country and are not abstracted by journals such as Current Contents, or are unknown to the author. In many cases there are only abstracts of conferences conducted in English, but no paper is subsequently published in an English journal. Only a small amount of research is being conducted in any country in the Asia-Pacific region. Thus this review concentrates on a few key results.
