René Truhaut

Summary
René Truhaut (May 23, 1909 – May 10, 1994) was a French toxicologist. He was made chairman of the department of toxicology at the Paris Faculty of Medicine. He is known for having introduced the concept of daily intake in 1956, and for coining the term "ecotoxicology" (in 1969) which defined it as "the branch of toxicology concerned with the study of toxic effects, caused by natural or synthetic pollutants, to the constituents of ecosystems, animal (including human), vegetable and microbial, in an integral context”. René Truhaut wrote a Handbook of occupational medicine, a book reprinted several times, which became a classic of this discipline, and hundreds of articles in major scientific journals.
