Complex Mixtures and Exposures
On April 23-24, 2012 the Dartmouth College and Boston University Superfund Programs co-hosted a conference on “Complex Mixtures and Exposures: Analyzing, Modeling and Predicting Fate and Effects at Multiple Levels of Environmental and Biological Systems.” The conference was held at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. Approximately 50 people attended and heard talks given by Superfund and non-Superfund scientists.
This conference was at the forefront of the burgeoning understanding of the need to examine and identify mixtures as significant areas of research. Identifying toxic metals and co-exposures and their health implications is now a priority for Superfund-related research.
