This one day symposium will examine the risks of chemical exposure and provide solutions for minimizing toxicity around the globe. Encompassing three vital themes common to us all, Clean Air, Pure Water and Safe Food, each segment will include a discussion of overall issues and current efforts to reduce toxic risk. The integration of scientific understanding of toxicological problems with international political processes and responses will serve to foster a comprehensive approach to successful management of toxic risks for global health.
