Conference Presentations and Extra Materials

The Trade, Health & Environment Impact Project developed this resource to provide background information for conference attendees on the latest research findings on the health effects of exposure to air pollution.

In most cases only abstracts of scientific articles have been provided for copyright reasons. There are also selected full articles, publications and presentations, which can be shared and are not copyright protected.

The resource also provides links to community, government and other sites for more information about trade, ports and goods movement. THE Impact Project hopes that this conference resource is a useful tool for all attendees.

The Southern California Environmental Health Sciences Center’s goal is to improve health by investigating environmental exposures, studying who might be most susceptible, and linking our research efforts with the communities we serve. Our Center scientists study cancer, respiratory disease and adverse reproductive outcomes, as well as develop new methods for designing studies and evaluate exposures.
