The 17th Annual Conference of the International Society of Exposure of Analysis

描述（由申请人提供） 国际接触分析学会（ISEA）是一个致力于了解环境中接触可能影响人类或生态系统的物质的科学的学会。 它将于2007年10月14日至18日在北卡罗来纳州的达勒姆举行第17届年会，预计将有来自地球仪的400多名科学家参加。会议的目的是将科学家和其他利益攸关方聚集在一起，介绍和交流有关暴露科学未来和公共卫生的最新进展。会议的主题是“伙伴关系：探索接触评估的综合方法”。原始研究报告，案例研究，研讨会将在广泛的接触科学领域，与“人类与环境的相互作用”，“健康科学和接触”，“风险分析和表征”，“国际伙伴关系和全球环境问题”，“接触科学和灾害应对”和“有效沟通”的具体主题领域。会议将加强暴露科学领域的科学和研究，并促进开展符合NIEHS使命的相关研究，以支持关于环境对人类健康作用的研究思路。会议将向对这些领域感兴趣的科学界、政府官员和公众提供信息。会议的主要成果将是增进人类接触科学的知识。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The International Society of Exposure Analysis (ISEA) is a society dedicated to the science of understanding exposure to agents in the environment that can affect humans or ecosystems due to contact with those agents. It will be having its 17th Annual Conference in Durham, NC October 14-18, 2007, which is expected to be attended by over 400 scientists from across the globe. The purpose of the conference will be to bring scientists and other stakeholders together to present and exchange information about recent advances on the future of exposure science and with public health. The overarching theme of the conference is "Partnerships: Exploring Integrative Approaches to Exposure Assessment". Original research reports, case studies, workshops will be presented across broad areas of exposure science, with specific theme areas of "Human-Environment Interactions", "Health Sciences and Exposure", "Risk Analysis and Characterization", "International Partnerships and Global Environmental Issues", "Exposure Science and Disaster Response", and "Effective Communication". The conference will enhance science and research in the fields of exposure science and promote the conduct of relevant research that is in line with the NIEHS mission to support research ideas on the role of the environment on human health. The conference will provide information to the scientific community, government officials and the general public who are interested in these fields. The primary outcome of the meeting will be the advancement of knowledge of human exposure science.
