Conference Objectives

Current environmental management policies aim to achieve a harmonious balance between the development of economic resources and the preservation of the environment. The objective is to reach sustainability while improving the health, safety and prosperity of the population. This approach involves taking acceptable risks in terms of the environment, human health and the economy. It is by definition an interdisciplinary activity that requires close cooperation between several scientific and engineering fields.

The purpose of this conference is to provide the proper environment for communication among scientists and engineers to achieve a better understanding of the problem, define common ground and find a common language. The ultimate goal is to find ways of reaching a sustainable and healthy world population.

The "Environmental Exposure and Health" conference will bring health specialists and scientists, social and physical scientists and engineers together in order to evaluate current issues in environmental exposure and health and chart future directions and needs in the field.

The conference will seek contributed papers dealing with original research, development of new methods and applications; site specific case studies; topics on multipathway exposure analysis; advanced methods and computational tools; exposure monitoring; health risk analysis and other related subjects.
