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.

项目概要/摘要 本提案旨在申请资金以帮助支持第十届国际PCB研讨会， 题为“PCB 研究五十年、新方法和发现以及更多 to learn”将于 2018 年 8 月 27 日至 31 日在波兰克拉科夫举行。 五年来，广泛的监管行动，以及自成立以来对其生产的有效禁止 20 世纪 70 年代，多氯联苯仍然存在于环境中，仍然是一个严重的公共卫生问题。 国际 PCB 研讨会的主要目标是为世界提供一个单一的论坛 分析、归宿和运输、暴露评估、新陈代谢和 PCB 的处置、毒性和公共卫生政策——为科学家提供了一个独特的机会 此次研讨会的具体目的是：（1）吸引。 并汇集世界上最有才华和经验丰富的 PCB 专家，(2) 以某种方式向科学家和非专业人士提供有关这个复杂主题的最新信息 这对于所有在场的人来说都是连贯且易于理解的，(3) 汇编和出版最 权威论文，包含有关该主题的最新信息，发表在可供公众查阅的期刊中 （四）补充和加强研究生和博士后培养 该研讨会将包括有关国际的演讲。 关于减少 PCB 暴露的协议、不断发展的评估暴露方法以及 环境化学混合物的健康风险、多氯联苯毒性的新研究和 作用机制和减少 PCB 暴露：最近的行动、其科学依据以及 将分享有关多氯联苯毒性和作用机制的新成果， 将推出新的数字工具，并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 包含所有会议和摘要的会议文件将作为一份文件发布。 一份主要环境健康杂志的特刊。
