ISEA 2004 Conference

描述(由申请人提供) 国际暴露分析学会(ISEA)第14届年会将于2004年10月17日(星期日)至10月21日(星期四)在费城中心的亚当马克酒店举行。这次会议将以“探索暴露评估的新兴技术”为共同主题。ISEA是风险暴露分析领域最杰出的专业学会，年度会议代表着该领域研究领袖之间进行互动的独特机会。 ISEA成立于1989年，旨在促进和推进与环境污染物有关的暴露分析科学，无论是对人类人口还是对生态系统都是如此。该成员促进参与暴露分析的所有学科之间的沟通，建议采用暴露分析方法来解决实质性或方法论问题，并致力于加强暴露评估对环境政策的影响。 与过去通过污染物和/或媒体(如农药、PM、水、空气)组织技术会议不同，ISEA第14届年会的会议将围绕技术主题领域组织。将在会议上讨论的新兴技术将包括实验室分析方法、遥感技术、基因阵列、GPS/地理信息系统应用、快速分析、追溯方法、新的个人抽样方法、新的人口调查以及癌症流行病学研究和儿童健康研究的暴露评估方法。这将促进新思想在通常定义狭窄的学科边界之间的相互影响，并为国际环境卫生协会成员和其他环境卫生专业人员之间的更广泛互动提供一个论坛。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The 14th annual conference of the international Society of Exposure Analysis (ISEA) will be held at the Adam's Mark Hotel, centrally located in Philadelphia, from Sunday, October 17 through Thursday, October 21, 2004. The conference will be held under the common theme "Exploring Emerging Technologies for Exposure Assessment." ISEA is the pre-eminent professional society in the discipline of exposure analysis, and the annual meetings represent unique opportunities for interaction among research leaders in the field. ISEA was established in 1989 to foster and advance the science of exposure analysis related to environmental contaminants, both for human populations and ecosystems. The membership promotes communication among all disciplines involved in exposure analysis, recommends exposure analysis approaches to address substantive or methodological concerns, and works to strengthen the impact of exposure assessment on environmental policy. Rather than organizing the technical sessions by pollutant and/or media as in the past (e. g., pesticides, PM, water, air), sessions at the 14'h annnual conference of ISEA will be organized around technological thematic areas. The emerging technologies to be addressed at the conference will include laboratory analytical methods, remote sensing techniques, gene arrays, GPS/GIS applications, rapid assays, retrospective methods, new personal sampling methods, novel population surveys, and exposure assessment methods for cancer epidemiological studies and childrens health studies. This will facilitate cross-fertilization of new ideas across the usual narrowly defined disciplinary boundaries, as well as providing a forum for broader interactions among ISEA members and other environmental health professionals.
