October Workshop: Bringing Toxicology to Global Issues
in Occupational and Environmental Public Health
SOT has assisted the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA)
in planning a toxicology symposium to be held October 18-19, 2007 in
Louisville, Kentucky. The symposium will provide occupational health
and safety, public health, and toxicology professionals with insight
into global 21st century issues in the workplace and environment.
The following four sessions are included:
- Nanotechnology
- Intended and Natural Disasters: What Is the Interface between Response
and Research?
- REACH—A Whole New World of Risk Determination and Testing
- New Tools in Toxicology—Translating Risk, Reducing Uncertainty,
and What to Do with the Information (computational toxicology, PBPK,
"omics," and biomarkers)
The Occupational Health and Safety Specialty Section of SOT has taken
the lead in working with the AIHA Toxicology Committee to plan the talks.
The Allegheny-Erie SOT Regional Chapter is a co-sponsor.
Symposium participants will receive insight into the new frontiers
using toxicology to improve global occupational, environmental, and
public health and learn approaches to use new toxicological data, techniques,
and models, as well as methods to support organizational compliance
with new and emerging toxicology issues. For those desiring continuing
education credits, AIHA will be granting 2 CM points/1. 6 CEUs/1. 6
COCs.
More details are found at the AIHA
Web site and registration will be available at that site soon.
