Interesting Facts

The International Society for Exposure Analysis (ISEA) was established in 1989 to foster and advance the science of exposure analysis related to environmental contaminants, both for human popluations and ecosystems.

The aim of the ISEA 2003 conference objective is to demonstate the roles of exposure analysis in preventing morbidity and mortality in both environmental and occupational settings and promote its risk management potential. The conference will have a special emphasis on building partnerships in Europe, and especially collaboration with and within the developing world.

Scientific Focus

In addition to the classical issues of air pollution, pesticides and heavy metal, drinking water and radiation, the conference will focus on occupational exposures, especially those not related to industrial production. Physical exposures such as noise, vibration and UVB. Ingestion exposures both dietary and non-dietary will also be highlighted in the conference programme

Some Special focal points of the conference:

Workday exposures (including exposure in commuting, lunch hours, work related mobility and mircoenvironments)
Indoor exposures (from indoor and outdoor sources)
Institutional exposures (hospitals, nuring homes, school etc. looking from the occupational, client and visitor point of view)
Dietary exposures (food, beverages and water)
Exposures to and risks from chemicals in products
Population exposure to pesticides and persistent organic pollutants
Aggregate exposures and cumulative risk assessment (Especially perticides and persistent organic chemicals)
Developing world and rural exposure issues
Exposure analysis in environmental risk management
