Please join
us for a joint seminar presented by the Chicago chapters
of the American
Industrial Hygiene Association
(AIHA)
and the
Society for Risk Analysis (SRA). The purpose of
the seminar is to provide a forum for experts in the
field of toxicology to present and discuss several
important emerging issues in toxicology in detail and
for participants to request and exchange more
information on these topics. Exposure assessment and
risk assessment will be key considerations in the
presentations and discussion.
Six speakers will
make presentations on emerging toxicological issues.
Each presentation will be approximately 30 to 45 minutes
in length, and will be followed by a 15-20 minute
question and answer and discussion period. “Toxicology
Challenge” questions will be asked in between
presentations in order to review and stimulate the
audience’s knowledge about toxicology.
