We are currently in the
process of proposing a special session at next years 9th International
Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant in
Guiyang,China:
June 7-12, 2009. The purpose of the session is to examine the impacts of
mercury contamination on marine ecosystems and the resulting health effects on
marine mammal populations. A special focus on the role these animals have as
potential sentinels for human and ecosystem health will be incorporated into
the content. We are currently looking for researchers who are involved in
projects focusing on mercury and health to submit tentative titles for either
an oral or poster presentations to participate in this conference. For more
information on the conference visit http://www.mercury2009.org.
Please contact Adam Schaefer, aschaefer@hboi.fau.edu with any further questions
or proposals.
