At the Council for Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (CONEM) is dental toxicology one of the main research fields in extensive collaboration with international research environments. The research activity in CONEM builds on the previous work of Geir Bjørklund. Therefore, this list also contains some of his first published articles.
