International Congress on the Health Affects of Hazardous Waste
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry will
sponsor the first International Congress on the Health Effects of
Hazardous Waste during May 3 through May 6, 1993, in Atlanta. The
objective of the congress is to promote the exchange of findings
and recommendations about human exposure to and health effects
resulting from hazardous waste.
Presentations and discussions will focus on populations at
risk, exposure assessment (including environmental measurements,
modeling, and use of biologic markers), health effects resulting
from exposure to toxic substances (including toxicologic studies,
health effects studies, diagnostic strategies, and risk analysis),
risk communication, technology and information transfer, health
implications of emerging technologies, gaps in data, and research
needs.
