Project Summary/Abstract: The proposed workshop entitled “Integrating Mercury Research and Policy in a Changing World,” will be sponsored by the Dartmouth College Toxic Metals Superfund Research Program. It will address important issues surrounding the fate of mercury in the environment and is timed to bring these issues to the attention of policymakers who will be involved with the first Conference of Parties for the Minamata Treaty. The proposed invitational workshop will address the following core aims: 1. to draw upon the expertise of a network of scientists who study the fate of mercury in the environment and the resulting exposures and effects on humans and ecosystems; 2. to facilitate communication between policy stakeholders and scientists about the important questions relevant to public health policy and regulation of mercury in the environment in the U.S. and globally; 3. to provide a forum for scientists working on mercury including biologists, toxicologists, biogeochemists, wildlife and human health scientists, risk assessment scientists, epidemiologists, and physicians to communicate their results to other investigators and facilitate an interdisciplinary exchange of information that will accelerate relevant science; 4. to identify key questions and knowledge gaps about mercury fate and transport in the environment and exposure and effects on humans and wildlife, and, 5. to hear from policy stakeholders who are directly involved with setting mercury policy at the international and national levels and determine what key questions they need the science to answer to help them move mercury policy forward. In a collaborative setting, the workshop will convene policymakers, stakeholders, and researchers who study the fate of mercury in the environment and its impacts on humans and natural ecosystems to: 1) hear from stakeholders and policymakers about the latest developments and needs pertaining to mercury related policy issues; 2) work together to identify gaps in mercury science and related policy questions that should be addressed in synthesis papers; 3) present draft papers to the group and continue dialogue for shaping papers and questions; 4) provide opportunities for paper authors to break out in groups to work on paper drafts and content; 5) discuss stakeholder perspectives for each paper; and 6) discuss translation products, outreach and target audiences. The preliminary findings of the papers and workshop discussion will also provide the basis for the plenary talks at the International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant 2017 which will be held during the week following the workshop. The theme of the ICMGP 2017 is also “Integrating Research and Policy in a Changing World” and it will be a gathering of over 1,000 scientists and trainees from academic institutions around the world, national and international government representatives, and scientists and project managers working at mercury contaminated sites.

项目摘要/摘要： 拟议的题为“在不断变化的世界中整合汞研究和政策”的讲习班将是 由达特茅斯学院有毒金属超级基金研究计划赞助。它将解决重要 围绕环境中汞命运的问题，并定时将这些问题引起人们的注意 将参与第一次参加Minamata条约的政党会议的政策制定者。提议 邀请赛研讨会将解决以下核心目的：1。借鉴网络的专业知识 研究环境中汞命运的科学家以及对人类的暴露和影响 和生态系统； 2。促进政策利益相关者与科学家之间关于重要的 与公共卫生政策和美国环境中汞有关的问题； 3。为从事汞工作的科学家提供一个论坛 野生动植物和人类健康科学家，风险评估科学家，流行病学家和医生 将其结果传达给其他调查人员，并促进跨学科的信息交流 将加速相关科学； 4。确定有关汞命运和知识差距的关键问题和知识差距 环境中的运输以及对人类和野生动植物的影响，以及5。 直接参与国际和国家一级制定汞政策的利益相关者以及 确定他们需要科学来回答哪些关键问题，以帮助他们推动汞政策的发展。 在协作环境中，研讨会将方便研究的政策制定者和研究人员 环境中汞的命运及其对人类和自然生态系统的影响：1） 利益相关者和政策制定者关于与汞相关政策的最新发展和需求 问题; 2）共同努力确定水星科学和相关政策问题的差距 在综合论文中解决； 3）向小组介绍草稿，并继续对话以形成论文 和问题； 4）为纸张作者提供了分组脱颖而出的机会，以撰写纸质草稿和 内容; 5）讨论每篇论文的利益相关者观点； 6）讨论翻译产品，外展和 目标受众。论文和研讨会讨论的初步发现也将提供基础 在国际汞大会上作为全球污染物2017的全体会谈，将于举行 在研讨会之后的一周中。 ICMGP 2017的主题也是“整合研究和 在不断变化的世界中的政策”，这将是来自学术的1000多名科学家和学员的聚会 世界各地的机构，国家和国际政府代表以及科学家和项目 在水星工作的经理污染了现场。
