The proposed two-and-one-half day conference will be held at the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI) located at Rutgers/University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ)-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School on June 21-23, 2000. The conference participants will discuss known and potential relationships between environmental exposures and various endemic/epidemic health concerns characterized by medically unexplained physical symptoms. The conference format includes one-and-a-half days of lectures and didactic presentations aimed at providing an initial consensus on nomenclature and introducing classification of syndromes. Two separate half-days are devoted to the discussion, identification and reporting of three potentially major areas of research in the field. Discussion groups will be charged with the task of addressing three major topics: 1) the nature and mechanism(s) of relationships between environmental exposures and symptoms without apparent disease, 2) determination of optimal nosological classification of symptom complexes, and 3) experiments/epidemiological studies that would aid in the interpretation of environmental and psychosocial contributions to these physical disease complexes. Eleven domestic and three international contributors are drawn from academia, State and Federal government. Contributors will present aspects of current thinking on epidemiologic observation, classification, psycho-social and biological mechanisms. Based on previous experience with the organization of conferences of this type at EOHSI, approximately 100 local and national attendees are anticipated. The organizers anticipate submission of the proceedings of the meeting for publication in Environmental Health Sciences. The overall goal of the conference is to provide a point of departure for the harmonization and classification of environmental/physical syndromes that currently defy medical diagnosis. Furthermore, following discussion of the issues in the field the organizers hope to identify gaps in research and possible avenues of investigation.

拟议的为期两天半的会议将在环境中心举行 和职业健康科学研究所（EOHSI）位于 罗格斯大学/新泽西医学和牙科大学 (UMDNJ)-罗伯特·伍德 约翰逊医学院，2000 年 6 月 21-23 日。会议参与者将 讨论环境暴露与环境暴露之间的已知和潜在关系 以医学为特征的各种地方性/流行性健康问题 无法解释的身体症状。 会议形式包括一场半 为期数天的讲座和教学演示旨在提供初步的了解 就命名法和引入综合征分类达成共识。 二 单独的半天时间用于讨论、识别和报告 该领域的三个潜在主要研究领域。 讨论组 将负责解决三个主要主题的任务：1）性质 以及环境暴露与症状之间关系的机制 无明显疾病，2) 确定最佳疾病分类 症状综合体的分类，以及 3) 实验/流行病学 有助于解释环境和社会心理的研究 对这些身体疾病的贡献。 国内十一个，三个 国际贡献者来自学术界、州和联邦 政府。 贡献者将介绍当前思考的各个方面 流行病学观察、分类、心理社会和生物学 机制。 根据以往组织会议的经验 在 EOHSI 上，大约有 100 名当地和国家参加者 预期的。 组织者预计提交会议记录 会议在环境健康科学上发表。 总体目标为 会议的目的是为统一和协调提供一个出发点 目前无法通过医学方法对环境/物理综合症进行分类 诊断。 此外，在对该领域的问题进行讨论之后 组织者希望找出研究方面的差距和可能的途径 调查。
