Project Summary/Abstract This proposal is to request funding to help support the Tenth International PCB Workshop, entitled “Fifty Years of PCB Research, New Approaches and Discoveries and still so much more to learn” to be held in Krakow, Poland, August 27-31, 2018. Despite active research spanning five decades, extensive regulatory actions, and an effective ban on their production since the 1970s, PCBs still persist in the environment and remain a critical public health problem. A primary objective of the International PCB Workshops is to provide a single forum for the world experts on issues of analysis, fate and transport, exposure assessment, metabolism and disposition, toxicity, and public health policy of PCBs- a unique opportunity for scientists to come together and learn from each other. The specific aims of this workshop are to: (1) attract and bring together the most talented and experienced experts on PCBs in the world, (2) to present to scientists and lay persons the very latest information on this complex topic in a way that will be coherent and understandable to all present, (3) to compile and publish the most authoritative treatise containing the newest information on the topic, in a journal available to a broad audience, and to (4) supplement and enhance the training of graduate and postdoctoral students and early career scientists. This Workshop will include presentations on international agreements on reduction of PCB exposure, evolving approaches to assessing exposures and health risks from environmental chemical mixtures, novel studies on PCB toxicity and mechanisms of action, and reducing PCB exposure: recent actions, their scientific basis, and new initiatives. New results will be shared regarding PCB toxicity and mechanisms of action, new digital tools will be presented, and new risk assessment methods and tools will be shared. Researchers will be introduced to new colleagues, new information, and new research directions. A proceedings document with all sessions and abstracts will be published as a special issue in a major environmental health journal.

项目摘要/摘要 该建议是要求资助以帮助支持第十个国际PCB研讨会， 名为“五十年的PCB研究，新的方法和发现，还有更多 学习”将于2018年8月27日至31日在波兰的克拉科夫举行。尽管进行了积极的研究 五十年，广泛的监管行动，以及对其生产的有效禁令 1970年代，PCB仍然存在于环境中，并且仍然是一个关键的公共卫生问题。一个 国际PCB研讨会的主要目标是为世界提供一个论坛 分析，命运和运输问题的专家，暴露评估，代谢和 PCB的处置，毒性和公共卫生政策 - 科学家的独特机会 聚在一起，互相学习。该研讨会的具体目的是：（1）吸引力 并将世界上最有才华和经验最丰富的专家聚集在一起，（2） 以某种方式向科学家和外行人提供有关此复杂主题的最新信息 这将是连贯的，并且对所有目前的所有人都可以理解，（3）编译和发布最多 在可用的期刊中，包含有关该主题的最新信息的权威珍贵 广泛的受众，以及（4）补充和增强研究生和博士后的培训 学生和早期职业科学家。该研讨会将包括有关国际的演讲 减少PCB暴露的协议，不断发展的方法来评估暴露和 环境化学混合物的健康风险，关于PCB毒性的新研究和 作用机制和减少PCB暴露的机制：最近的动作，其科学基础和 新计划。关于PCB毒性和作用机制，将分享新的结果， 将展示新的数字工具，并将共享新的风险评估方法和工具。 研究人员将被介绍给新同事，新信息和新研究 方向。所有会议和摘要的诉讼文件将以 主要环境健康杂志的特刊。
