The project will organise a Workshop to bring together expertise on Environment and Human Health from a wide range of different disciplines. In particular, it aims to establish interaction, and scope for new research collaboration, between currently isolated expertise in the health/medicine and the environmental/geochemical subject area. The Workshop will begin, after an opening plenary session to set the scene, with a fieldtrip to a local case study site (ICI / Weston quarry / village) with presentations by industry, health and the community. This will exemplify the current issues that are being tackled, the approaches and methods being applied, and the need for new interdisciplinary research to improve the way such situations are investigated, and the human health outcomes improved. Five workshop sessions will then concentrate discussion on key topics for research:- 1. Transport and dynamics of toxic pollutants in the natural environment and their effect on human health. 2. Uncertainty in risk assessment, epidemiology and regulation. 3. Social, economic and behavioural factors in the genesis and health impact of environmental hazards. 4. Strategies for improving health in contaminated situations. 5. The effects of multiple toxic pollutants on health. These sessions will be lead by two experts on each topic, one from the health/medicine viewpoint and the other from the environmental/geochemical. After brief introductory presentations to identify the key issues from both perspectives, the leaders will initiate a substantial discussion with the participants to synthesise the two approaches and identify new collaborative research that can better investigate the situation, and provide optimal ways to improve human health outcomes. The finding of each workshop session, over its three iterations, will be reported back to a combined final session to bring together and synthesise the conclusions of the workshop as a whole. The papers presented at the workshop, and summaries of the discussions from each workshop, will be written up for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Environmental Geochemistry and Health.

该项目将组织一个研讨会，汇集来自各种不同学科的环境和人类健康方面的专业知识。特别是，它的目的是建立互动，新的研究合作的范围，目前孤立的专业知识在健康/医学和环境/地球化学主题领域。讲习班开始，在开幕全体会议设置场景后，实地考察当地的案例研究地点（ICI /韦斯顿采石场/村庄），由工业，卫生和社区介绍。这将说明目前正在处理的问题，正在采用的办法和方法，以及需要进行新的跨学科研究，以改进调查这种情况的方式，并改善人类健康结果。五个研讨会将集中讨论研究的关键主题：有毒污染物在自然环境中的迁移和动力学及其对人类健康的影响。2.风险评估、流行病学和监管的不确定性。3.环境危害的成因和健康影响中的社会、经济和行为因素。4.在污染情况下改善健康的战略。5.多种有毒污染物对健康的影响。这些会议将由每个主题的两名专家主持，一名来自健康/医学观点，另一名来自环境/地球化学观点。在简短的介绍性演讲以确定两种观点的关键问题后，领导人将与参与者进行实质性讨论，以综合两种方法，并确定新的合作研究，以更好地调查情况，并提供改善人类健康结果的最佳方法。将向最后一次合并会议报告每一次研讨会的结果，以汇总和综合整个研讨会的结论。在讲习班上提出的论文以及每个讲习班的讨论摘要将被编写出来，以便在《环境地球化学与健康杂志》的特刊上发表。
