We deeply regret that toxicology has lost a scientist dedicated to elevating the standards of science in our profession. Dr Emil A. Pfitzer, Past President of the Society of Toxicology, passed away on 20 July 2007 at his home in New River, AZ, after a long illness with a chronic lung disease. Emil was a very active participant in and strong advocate for our Society, and as President, he presided over the Society during its 25th anniversary year (1985–1986) and was a member of the 40th Anniversary Task Force.
