Human and ecological health risk factors in the Pacific Basin

 描述（由申请人提供）：建议举办为期四天的国际会议，包括研讨会，平台演示和学生海报。会议专题讨论会计划在以下主要领域举行：太平洋盆地的人类和环境健康、水工程和管理、危险废物处理/管理（包括生物补救、电子废物、持久性有毒物质和新出现的污染物）、儿童环境健康、一个健康/生态健康、环境和自然灾害以及环境正义问题。在举行平台会议之前，将在儿童环境健康、健康风险评估和水系统开发领域举办一系列三个讲习班。会议的主要目标包括：（一）向太平洋沿岸快速发展国家的学生和年轻专业人员转让环境和人类健康领域的技术;（二）鼓励环境/人类健康和相关工程领域的学者和其他专业人员之间的网络发展。2015年会议定于2015年8月10日至13日在印度尼西亚西爪哇省Depok举行，由印度尼西亚大学和太平洋盆地环境与健康联盟（PBC）共同主办。如信函所示，东西方中心和世界卫生组织预计将参加会议。这将是过去20至30年来在整个太平洋盆地举行的一系列建设和平委员会会议中的第16次会议。所有这些都有类似的目标-通过毒理学、工程学和卫生学方面的教育和实践来促进人类和环境健康。会议将有200-250名与会者参加，其中50%或更多来自东道国。组织目标包括鼓励学生参与NIEHS PBC计划，代表性不足的群体和印度尼西亚学生/专业人士。请NIEHS提供60 000美元，以支持会议。更具体地说，这笔资金将用于（i）通过旅行赠款和登记豁免激励学生和年轻专业人员的参与，以及（ii）支持危险废物领域的具体会议专题讨论会，包括水中的砷管理。会议费用总额估计为136 250美元。除了NIEHS，会议支持将来自印度尼西亚大学，印度尼西亚卫生和环境部，世界卫生组织儿童环境健康合作中心网络，儿童健康与环境计划，东亚全球健康中心国家癌症研究所和PBC。赠款申请的预算部分提供了会议费用和支助来源的细目。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A four-day international meeting is proposed, consisting of workshops, platform presentations and student posters. Conference symposia are scheduled for the following primary areas- human and environmental health in the Pacific Basin, water engineering and management, hazardous waste treatment/management (including bioremediation, e-waste, persistent toxicants and emerging pollutants), children's environmental health, One Health/Eco Health, environment and natural disasters and environmental justice issues. A series of three workshops in the areas of children's environmental health, health risk assessment and water systems development will precede platform sessions. Principal conference objectives include (I) technical transfer in the areas of environmental and human health to students and young professionals from fast-developing nations on the Pacific Rim and (II) encouragement of network development among academics and other professionals in environmental/human health and related areas of engineering. The 2015 conference is scheduled for 10-13 August 2015 in Depok, West Java, Indonesia and will be co-hosted by the University of Indonesia and the Pacific Basin Consortium for Environment and Health (PBC). Participation by the East-West Center and the World Health Organization is expected, as indicated by letter. This will be the 16th in a series of PBC conferences held throughout the Pacific Basin over the last 20-30 years. All have had similar objectives-promotion of human and environmental health through education and practice in toxicology, engineering and sanitation. The conference will be attended by 200-250 participants, with 50% or more coming from the host country. Organizational objectives include encouragement of participation by students within the NIEHS PBC program, underrepresented groups and Indonesian students/professionals. $60,000 is requested from NIEHS to support the conference. More specifically, the money will be used to (i) incentivize the participation of students and young professionals through travel grants and registration waivers and (ii) support specific conference symposia in the areas of hazardous waste, including arsenic management in water. The total cost of the conference is estimated at $136,250. In addition to NIEHS, conference support will come from the University of Indonesia, Indonesian Ministries of Health and Environment, The World Health Organization Network of Collaborating Centers in Children's Environmental Health, The Children's Health and Environment Program, East Asia Center for Global Health National Cancer Institute, and the PBC. A breakdown of conference costs and sources of support is provided in the budget section of the grant application.
