The Pacific Basin Consortium for Environment and Health Sciences is
holding its 11th International Conference from 4 - 6 September at the
East-West Center at the University of Hawaii.  The Consortium used to
be the Pacific Basin Consortium for Hazardous Waste Research and
Management - it has broadened its mandate.  The theme is "Threats to
Human Health and Sustainability in the Pacific Basin:  Environmental
Pollutants and Climate Change".  They will continue to accept
abstracts for presentations after the posted deadline of July 15.
The topics of the sessions will include:  Hazardous contaminants in
the Pacific Basin, Air pollution and human/environmental health,
Climate variability and periodic catastrophic events, Persistent
organic pollutants in the Pacific Basin, Children's environmental
health, Pesticides and human health, Mercury: sources and effects,
Monitoring of human tissues for contaminants, Pollutants, breast
cancer and breast feeding.  I have found these conferences to be a
great venue to share ideas, hear about new developments on human
health effects of environmental pollutants and make contacts and
friends.  For more information and submission of abstracts, see the
