This conference will deal with health issues relating to pesticide

exposure

in the home, school, worksite and in public health situations. The goal

is

to bring together occupational and environmental health researchers,

educators, health care providers and related specialists in order to

exchange up-to-date information, foster collaborations, and create a

forum

for addressing some of the problems that exist.

The general conference will be three-days (Monday, July 8 through

Wednesday, July 10) featuring a keynote speaker, oral and poster

presentations, and panel discussions. A two-day (Thursday, July 11 and

Friday, July 12) workshop will be held on medical guidelines for health

care providers. These guidelines will address chronic health effects

attributed to pesticides and medical monitoring for workers exposed to

pesticides.
