NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved
by the Governing Board of the National Research Council, whose
members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy of
Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of
Medicine. The members of the committee responsible for the report
were chosen for their special competencies and with regard for
appropriate balance.
This report has been reviewed by a group other than the
authors according to procedures approved by a Report Review
Committee appointed by the members of the National Academy of
Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of
Medicine.
The Institute of Medicine was chartered in 1970 by the National
Academy of Sciences to enlist distinguished members of the
appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters
pertaining to the health of the public. In this, the Institute acts under
both the Academy's 1863 congressional charter responsibility to be
an adviser to the federal government and its own initiative in
identifying issues of medical care, research, and education.
This study was supported under a cooperative agreement
through the U.S. Public Health Service, Centers for Disease
Control/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry; National
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences; and the Environmental
Protection Agency (contract no. ATU30021~.

The serpent has been a symbol of long life, healing, and knowledge
among almost all cultures and religions since the beginning of
recorded history. The image adopted as a logotype by the Institute
of Medicine is based on a relief carving from ancient Greece, now
held by the Staatlichemuseen in Berlin.
