The
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) co-sponsored
this inaugural conference to bring together dermatologists, occupational
hygienists, laboratory researchers, policy makers and others to focus
on the science, knowledge gaps and policy opportunities related to occupational
and environmental exposures of the skin to chemicals.
The site was the Hilton Crystal City at Ronald Reagan National Airport hotel. The main conference was followed by a one-day workshop focusing on specific research and public health opportunities for decreasing the burden of skin exposures to chemicals in both workplaces and the general environment. Approximately 135 individuals attended. A second conference is expected in 2004. |
