35th International Symposium on Halogenated Persistent Organic Pollutants

 描述（由申请人提供）：第35届卤化持久性有机污染物（POP）国际研讨会，二恶英2015，将于2015年8月23日至28日在巴西圣保罗的Maksoud Plaza酒店举行。在过去30年中，用于检测、鉴定和量化持久性有机污染物的分析和生物分析技术取得了迅速进展，人们对持久性有机污染物的形成、归宿和迁移、新类别持久性有机污染物的鉴定和定性有了更多的了解，在了解其生物化学和毒理学作用机制以及对健康的不利影响方面也取得了重大进展。这些认识，再加上持久性有机污染物的全球分布及其生物和环境持久性，使其成为科学家和管理人员日益关注和关注的一个重大问题，并成为一些国家在减少/尽量减少其在环境、动物和食品中存在的一个重大挑战。目前对这些化学品的研究涵盖了从分析和环境化学到分子生物学、毒理学和流行病学等广泛的科学学科。本次专题讨论会的广泛和长期目标是将持久性有机污染物研究的这些不同科学领域的世界专家聚集在一起，为他们提供一个独特的多学科论坛，交流和讨论最近的成果和新出现的问题，并发展跨学科合作和转化方法，以解决全球持久性有机污染物污染问题。本次会议将为预计将有800 - 1000名与会者参加为期四天半的会议提供这样一个机会，会议将包括40多个口头报告会和三个公开海报会，涵盖各种主题。每一天的开始将是由一位主要的国际持久性有机污染物专家进行的全体演讲，然后在四个同时举行的会议上就持久性有机污染物的各个领域进行口头介绍。下午的会议开始是所有与会者参加的公开海报会议，然后是两个连续的四个同时进行的口头介绍会议。最后一天将举行一次全面总结会议，介绍会议期间报告的重大进展，并讨论持久性有机污染物研究今后面临的挑战。国家和国际组织委员会将确保以下方面的大量参与： 在这方面，我们注意到以下问题：大学生、博士后和年轻研究人员的发言数量均衡;妇女、少数民族和残疾人的发言数量均衡;来自世界各区域的研究人员的发言数量均衡。二恶英专题讨论会为来自不同科学背景和学科但对持久性有机污染物有共同兴趣的与会者之间的跨学科交流和互动提供了一个独特的机会。这些相互作用和合作预计将继续导致重大进展和新的见解的形成，命运和分布，这些无处不在的污染物，其环境影响和健康影响。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 35th International Symposium on Halogenated Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), Dioxin 2015, will be held from 23rd to 28th August 2015, at the Hotel Maksoud Plaza, in São Paulo, Brazil. The past 3 decades have witnessed rapid advances in analytical and bioanalytical technologies for the detection identification, and quantitation of POPs, increased understanding of their formation, fate and transport, identification and characterization of new classes of POPs, and major progress in understanding their biochemical and toxicological mechanisms of action and adverse health effects. These insights, coupled with global distribution and the biological and environmental persistence of POPs, have made them a major issue of increased interest and concern of scientists and regulators, and a major challenge for some countries to reduce/minimize their presence in the environment, animals and food. Current research on these chemicals now encompasses a broad range of scientific disciplines, from analytical and environmental chemistry to molecular biology, toxicology and epidemiology. The broad and long term goals of this symposium are to bring together the world's experts in these diverse scientific areas of POPs research and to provide them with a unique multidisciplinary forum in which to communicate and discuss recent results and emerging issues, and to develop interdisciplinary collaborations and translational approaches to addressing the problems of global POP contamination. This meeting will provide such an opportunity for the 800-1000 participants expected for this four and a half day conference of more than 40 oral presentation sessions and three open poster sessions covering a diverse range of topics. Each day will commence with a plenary lecture by a leading international POPs expert followed by oral presentations in four concurrent sessions on a variety of POPs areas. The afternoon sessions begin with an open poster session attended by all participants, followed by two sequential blocks of four concurrent oral presentation sessions. The final day will conclude with an overall summary session describing significant advances reported during the meeting and discussing future challenges in POPs research. The national and international organizing committees will ensure that there will be significant participation by students, postdocs and young investigators, parity in the numbers presentations by women, minorities and persons with disabilities, and balance in the number of presentations by researchers from various regions of the world. The Dioxin symposium provides a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary communications and interactions among participants from diverse scientific backgrounds and disciplines but who have a common interest in POPs. These interactions and collaborations are expected to continue to result in major advancements and new insights into the formation, fate and distribution of these ubiquitous contaminants, their environmental impact and health effects.
