6th
World Congress on Environmental Health
5 - 9 June 2000,
Oslo, Norway
This meeting, held on behalf of the International Federation
of Environmental Health (IFEH) has the theme ìHealthy EnvironmentsóThe
Local Challengeî. It will offer a comprehensive professional program
and an exhibition covering key issues concerning environmental health
in the 21st century. A variety of social activities will add a creative
framework for a meeting place for professionals, experts, and scientists;
politicians and decision makers of various sectors and levels; and grassroots
workers, activists, and other local partners involved in the design
and implementation of strategies, concepts, and projects associated
with environmental health. The deadline for submission of abstracts
is 20 September 1999.
