Abstract

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The investigators request funding for a recurring Gordon Research Conference, entitled, "Drinking Water Disinfection By-products (DBPs): Integrating Occurrence and Formation, Exposure, Toxicity, and Epidemiology". It will be held at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, on August 9-14, 2009. This conference aims to include the latest research on DBP occurrence, formation, exposure, toxicity, and epidemiology with the goal of facilitating dialog between chemists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, and engineers in this research area, and integrating collaborative epidemiologic, toxicology, exposure, and occurrence and formation studies to solve DBP issues. Issues to be covered include formation chemistry, human exposure, risk assessment, and new cancer studies.
