Ellenbecker -1135110DescriptionThe PIs plan to host the 5th International Symposium on Nanotechnology, Occupational and Environmental Health to take place August 9-12, 2011 in Boston, Massachusetts. The University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML) will co-host the event along with the Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing (CHN), and the Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI). This Symposium is the fifth in a series of international symposia, which have been held over the past decade to address concerns about the toxicity and potentially adverse environmental impacts associated with the rapidly increasing development and use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs).This series of symposia has evolved into the premier international gathering to discuss the toxicity and potentially adverse environmental aspects of ENP use. The very latest research on this new and emerging technology field will be presented and discussed by leading international scientists. The Symposium will be organized around three themes: (1) Nanoparticle exposure assessment and control (2) Engineered nanoparticle toxicology and adverse health effects (3) Policy and regulatory aspects of nanotechnology health and safetyBroader ImpactsThe Symposium will identify crucial knowledge gaps, research accomplishments, and future needs in the field. Key findings from the Symposium will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research. A special effort will be made to ensure the involvement of women, minorities, and persons with disabilities. The conference co-chair is a woman, the first female co-chair in this symposium series.

Ellenbecker -1135110DescriptionPI 计划于 2011 年 8 月 9 日至 12 日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举办第五届纳米技术、职业和环境健康国际研讨会。 马萨诸塞州洛厄尔大学 (UML) 将与高速纳米制造中心 (CHN) 和减少有毒物质使用研究所 (TURI) 共同主办此次活动。 本次研讨会是一系列国际研讨会中的第五次，这些研讨会在过去十年中举办，旨在解决与工程纳米颗粒 (ENP) 的快速开发和使用相关的毒性和潜在不利环境影响的担忧。该系列研讨会已发展成为讨论 ENP 使用的毒性和潜在不利环境问题的首要国际聚会。 国际领先的科学家将介绍和讨论这一新兴技术领域的最新研究。研讨会将围绕三个主题组织：（1）纳米颗粒暴露评估和控制（2）工程纳米颗粒毒理学和不良健康影响（3）纳米技术健康和安全的政策和监管方面更广泛的影响研讨会将确定关键的知识差距、研究成果、以及该领域未来的需求。 研讨会的主要研究结果将发表在《纳米粒子研究杂志》的特刊上。我们将特别努力确保妇女、少数民族和残疾人的参与。会议联合主席是一位女性，是本次研讨会系列中的第一位女性联合主席。
