2012 Sino-European  Symposium on Environment and Health (SESEH 2012)

Galway, Ireland, Aug  20-25, 2012

(http://www.nuigalway.ie/seseh2012)

All Chinese, European  and international experts are welcome to attend!

欢迎来自中国、欧洲以及世界各地的专家们参加！

Dear  colleague,

The 2012  Sino-European Symposium on Environment and Health (SESEH 2012, Galway, Ireland,  Aug 20-25, 2012, http://www.nuigalway.ie/seseh2012)  is now calling for abstracts. The aim of SESEH 2012 is to promote collaborations  with China (大会宗旨：架设中国与世界沟通的桥梁 ).

The SESEH 2012  provides an internationally leading platform for interaction between scientists,  consultants, and public servants engaged in the multi-disciplinary areas of  environment and health. With the fast economic growth, the importance of  environment and health is widely recognized in China, and China welcomes  international experts for collaboration. This symposium provides an opportunity  for a direct communication between experts from China and the rest of the world,  and helps to foster and develop international collaborations with China, the  2^nd largest economy of the world.

The conference venue  is the campus of National University of Ireland, Galway, within walking distance  of Galway’s city centre. The conference is co-organized by GIS Centre, Ryan  Institute of NUI Galway (http://www.ryaninstitute.ie/facilities/gis-facility),  The Geographical Society of China (www.gsc.org.cn) and Environmental Sciences  Association of Ireland (ISAI, www.esaiweb.org), supported by Ryan Institute  of NUI Galway (www.ryaninstitute.ie),  Society for Environmental Geochemistry and Health (SEGH, www.segh.net), International Medical Geology  Association (IMGA, www.medicalgeology.org), Geographical  Society of Ireland (www.ucd.ie/gsi), Ireland  Chinese Association of Environment, Resources & Energy (ICAERE, www.icaere.ie), National Centre for  Geocomputation (ncg.nuim.ie), South China  Institute of Environmental Sciences (http://www.scies.org/en) and Chinese  Environmental Scholars & Professionals Network (http://www.cespn.net/english).

SESEH 2012 Themes:  

Ø   Environmental  sciences: chemistry, geochemistry, biogeochemistry, ecology and toxicology  

Ø   Environmental  pollution: air, water (river, lake, and marine), soil, and food

Ø   Environmental  pollutants: metals and metalloids; persistent organic pollutants and  pesticides

Ø   Environmental  technologies: soil remediation; waste water treatment

Ø   Environmental  management and monitoring: social impact assessment, economics and  policies

Ø   Medical geology,  endemic diseases, environmental health and public health

Ø  Links between  environment and health, environment and genetic interaction

Ø   GIS and quantitative  methods in environment and population health

Ø   Sustainable  development and health: agriculture, industry, traffic, urbanization

Ø Climate change and  population health
