Occupational and Environmental Exposure of Skin to Chemicals Conference 2009

Date Location Duration
17th Jun 2009 Edinburgh 4 days (14-17 June 2009)

BOHS  hosted the the Fourth international conference on Occupational and Environmental Exposure of Skin to Chemicals (OEESC 2009)  in Edinburgh, Scotland. The meeting was unique in bringing together experts in dermal exposure assessment, dermatology, and skin toxicology with policy-makers and health, safety and environment professionals interested in increasing their knowledge of dermal exposure issues.

The conference focused on the science of skin exposure to chemicals, measurement and modeling of exposure and skin permeation, knowledge gaps and future challenges, and policy initiatives to control exposures and risks. There was a mixture of plenary lectures, discussions sessions, posters and short courses. There was also a programme of social events linked to the conference.  Click here to download the scientific programme.
