DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Occupational and environmental health in Southeast Asia will be the focus of an international scientific conference to be held in Hanoi, Vietnam at the National Institute of Occupational and Environmental Health on November 16,17, and 18, 2005. Since many of the key issues in Vietnam-such as silica, noise, ergonomics, and occupational injuries-are also important in the United States, increasing scientific collaboration will benefit workers and employers in both countries. Other topics that will be covered include exposure to pesticides, asbestos, heavy metals, and work environment issues. This conference will enhance NIOSH Strategic Goals 1 (to promote safe and health workplaces through interventions, recommendations and capacity building), and 2 (to enhance global workplace safety and health through international collaborations. It will also further the NIOSH Research to Practice initiative on an international level. Conference attendees will be practitioners and researchers from Vietnam, other Asian countries, the United States, and Europe. A special effort will be made to include representatives from Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos, countries which have a less well-developed infrastructure to deal with occupational and environmental health problems in comparison to Vietnam. The conference will be held in Vietnamese and English. The members of the organizing committee are experts in international occupational and environmental health issues. They represent state, national and international health agencies and private research organizations committed to improving the health status of workers and community members. The conference will focus on interventions, good practice guidelines, and international research relevant to the region. Conference proceedings will be made available so that the presentations can be distributed to a wider audience.

描述（由申请人提供）： 东南亚的职业和环境健康将成为2005年11月17日至18日在越南河内国家职业和环境健康研究所举行的国际科学会议的焦点。 由于越南的许多关键问题——例如二氧化硅、噪音、人体工程学和职业伤害——在美国也很重要，因此加强科学合作将使两国的工人和雇主受益。 将涵盖的其他主题包括接触农药、石棉、重金属和工作环境问题。 本次会议将加强 NIOSH 战略目标 1（通过干预、建议和能力建设促进安全和健康工作场所）和 2（通过国际合作加强全球工作场所安全和健康）。 它还将进一步推进 NIOSH 研究到实践倡议国际水平。 与会者将是来自越南、其他亚洲国家、美国和欧洲的从业者和研究人员。 将特别努力邀请来自泰国、柬埔寨和老挝的代表参加，与越南相比，这些国家处理职业和环境健康问题的基础设施欠发达。 会议将以越南语和英语举行。 组委会成员是国际职业和环境健康问题方面的专家。 他们代表致力于改善工人和社区成员健康状况的州、国家和国际卫生机构以及私人研究组织。 会议将重点关注与该地区相关的干预措施、良好实践指南和国际研究。 将提供会议记录，以便将演讲内容分发给更广泛的受众。
