DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This conference grant proposal seeks support for the 5th International Symposium on Nanotechnology, Occupational and Environmental Health, will be held in Boston, Mass., USA, from August 9-12, 2011. The Symposium will be held at the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel. The host organizations for the Symposium are the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML), the Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing (CHN), and the Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI). The co-chairs are Dr. Su-Jung (Candace) Tsai and Dr. Michael Ellenbecker. Independent of this proposal, NIOSH has agreed to be a sponsor of the Symposium. The Symposium program is organized around three themes, i.e., engineered nanoparticle toxicology and adverse health effects, occupational health, and environmental health; two of the themes are directly relevant to NIOSH's mission. Parallel sessions will be held in these three areas throughout the Symposium. If awarded, NIOSH financial support will be used to pay for student scholarships and for salary support for the TURI events assistant who will do much of the administrative work in support of the Symposium. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This Symposium is concerned with the occupational health implications of working with engineered nanoparticles. This new field is a strong focus of NIOSH, and the possible adverse public health implications can be significant. The attendees will obtain the most recent information on the toxicity, worker exposure, and environmental health impacts of working with engineered nanoparticles, which they will then be able to apply to their work and pass on to their colleagues.

描述(由申请者提供)：本会议拨款提案寻求支持将于2011年8月9日至12日在美国马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的第五届纳米技术、职业和环境健康国际研讨会。研讨会将在威斯汀波士顿海滨酒店举行。研讨会的主办组织是马萨诸塞州洛厄尔大学(UML)、高速纳米制造中心(CHN)和毒物使用减少研究所(TURI)。联席主席是蔡素贞博士和Michael Ellenbecker博士。除了这一提议之外，NIOSH已同意成为研讨会的赞助商。研讨会计划围绕三个主题组织，即工程纳米颗粒毒理学和有害健康影响、职业健康和环境健康；其中两个主题与NIOSH的使命直接相关。在整个专题讨论会期间，将在这三个领域举行平行会议。如果获奖，NIOSH的财政支持将用于支付学生奖学金和都灵活动助理的工资支持，后者将承担支持研讨会的大部分行政工作。 公共卫生相关性：本次研讨会关注的是使用工程纳米颗粒对职业健康的影响。这一新领域是NIOSH的一个重要关注点，可能对公共卫生造成重大不利影响。与会者将获得有关使用转基因纳米颗粒的毒性、工人暴露和环境健康影响的最新信息，然后他们将能够将这些信息应用于他们的工作并传递给他们的同事。
