SYMPOSIUM ON ADVANCES IN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH

为了纪念它成立40周年，纽约 大学环境医学研究所正准备 于1987年10月29-30日在纽约举行为期两天的研讨会 约克大学医学中心，重点介绍了 已经看到的环境致癌和毒理学 尤其值得注意的是最近的发展，这些都是 目前最活跃、最有前途的研究领域。这个 研讨会将汇聚来自这一领域的主要研究人员 来自国内和海外的几个主题逐一复习 该计划覆盖的地区，评估 艺术，并讨论在每个领域出现的新的研究方向 最有希望的。将讨论的主题包括：1) 致癌物暴露的标志物；2)癌基因；3)机制 肿瘤促进作用：氧自由基的作用；4)体外模型 致癌作用；5)石棉等的致癌作用 矿物纤维；6)致癌风险评估；7)健康 空气污染的影响；8)空气污染的流行病学评估 低水平辐射的致癌风险；以及9) 免疫毒理学和宿主防御。除了相关的 科学发展，政策影响将在 讨论。研讨会的会议记录将予以公布。

To mark the 40th anniversary of its founding, the New York University Institute of Environmental Medicine is preparing to hold a two-day symposium on October 29-30, 1987, at the New York University Medical Center, highlighting those areas of environmental carcinogenesis and toxicology that have seen especially noteworthly recent developments and that are among the most active and promising research area at the present. The symposium will bring together leading investigators from this country and from overseas to review each of the several topic areas covered by the program, assess the relevant state of the art, and discuss new research directions in each area that appear most promising. Topics to be discussed include the following: 1) Markers of Exposure to Carcinogens; 2) Oncogenes; 3) Mechanisms of Tumor Promotion: Role of Oxygen Radicals; 4) In Vitro Models of Carcinogenesis; 5) Carcinogenic Action of Asbestos and Other Mineral Fibers; 6) Carcinogenicity Risk Assessment; 7) Health Effects of Air Pollution; 8) Epidemiological Assessment of the Carcinogenic Risks of Low-Level Irradiation; and 9) Immunotoxicology and Host Defenses. In addition to the relevant scientific developments, policy implications will be covered in the discussions. The proceedings of the Symposium will be published.
