health. There will be community presentations, an open microphone,
and a chance to discuss research needs and issues with scientists,
regulators, health officials, and legislators. Workshops will
address environmental justice, children's health, air pollution,
school environments, healthy homes, youth and worker concerns,
public participation in environmental health decisions, and
more...
