Description:

During the conference we will address changes in the occupational and general environment that exposure assessors of today have to deal with. In addition to this, the ever-increasing interest in gene-environment interactions, quantitative exposure- response relations and interactions between different exposures such as chemical and biological agents in mixed-exposure environments in the fields of epidemiology, hygiene, toxicology and risk assessment will challenge the capabilities of modern exposure assessors.
