Conference Overview
Adverse health effects associated with exposure to various environmental factors or pollutants remains an important public health issue around the world. In this area, environmental health addresses all the physical, chemical, organizational, and biological factors external to a person, and all the related factors impacting behaviors. How to encompass the assessment and control of those environmental factors that can potentially affect health is warmly exploring. New research topics on evaluating environmental adverse factors and preventing disease from various occupational or environmental factors developed fast in past several years. It is also very important to consider the application of these research results to improve the control of environmental hazards and create health-supportive work or living environments.
This conference will provide an international forum for discussions between scientists, and experts from governments, industries, unions or international organizations concerned with environmental health protection through regulatory or educational activities. This is to encourage the exchange of experiences and achievements in implementing advanced research results into improved measures for early damages and disease prevention, and to jointly identify and discuss directions for further advances.
This conference promises to provide a forum for discussion of research needs, strategies, and opportunities for effective international collaborations on topics of “Environments, early damages and diseases“. Captivating contributions cover the following challenging subject areas: 1) Complex Environmental Studies, 2) Combination Ergonomics, Epidemiology and Toxicology, 3) Environmental, Psychosocial and Organizational Factors, 4) Combined Mutagens, Teratogens and Genotoxins, 5) Ageing Considerations in Different Stages of Lifetime, 6) Creative and Cognitive Performances, Built Environments, Nature, and 7) Analytical Issues, Methodology and Technology Achievements.
