A conference on "Arctic Development, Pollution and Biomarkers of Human Health" will be held in Anchorage, Alaska on May 1-3, 2000. The conference is being organized by The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences/National Institute of Health (NIEHS/NIH) and the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Prgramme (AMAP).Basic environmental health research is important to protect the health of this region and its people. Pollutants mobilized by ocean streams and air currents move globally and settle in the arctic" sink" where low volatilization and entrapment in ice and cold water raise concerns about increasing exposures. Furthermore, bioconcentration through the food chain of fat-soluble pollutants makes indigenous population diets susceptible to untoward contamination.The objectives of this conference are to raise awareness of the environmental health issues confronting the Arctic regions and to bring advanced scientific techniques to bear on the issues of exposure assessment and health effects of exposures to environmental agents. The ultimate goal is to better the health of arctic populations through scientifically sound studies assessing possible health hazards from environmental contaminants.

将于2000年5月1日至3日在阿拉斯加州安克雷奇召开“北极发展、污染和人类健康生物标志物”会议。这次会议由美国国家环境健康科学研究所/美国国立卫生研究院(NIEHS/NIH)和北极监测与评估计划(AMAP)主办。基础环境健康研究对于保护该地区及其人民的健康具有重要意义。 由洋流和气流流动的污染物在全球范围内移动，并沉积在北极的“水槽”中，那里的低挥发性和被冰和冷水的截留引起了人们对污染物暴露增加的担忧。 此外，脂溶性污染物通过食物链的生物浓缩使土著居民的饮食容易受到不良污染。本次会议的目的是提高对北极地区面临的环境健康问题的认识，并利用先进的科学技术来解决暴露评估和暴露于环境物质对健康的影响问题。 最终目标是通过科学合理的研究评估环境污染物可能对健康造成的危害，从而改善北极人口的健康。
