WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT:

CALIFORNIA'S EMERGING ENVIRONMENTAL 

SCIENTIFIC CHALLENGES

 

The California Environmental Protection Agency's (Cal/EPA) Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, in conjunction with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Center for Environmental Risk Reduction (CERR), is planning to hold a workshop on California's Emerging Scientific Environmental Challenges" at UCLA during early summer 1997. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for environmental scientists to discuss current and future environmental conditions, practices, and trends having the potential to adversely impact California's environment over the next 5 to 10 years. Discussions will focus on identifying emerging environmental challenges which are within the purview of Cal/EPA. The outcome of the workshop will be a workshop report prepared by the UCLA/CERR which outlines the environmental issues that were identified, how they can be quantified and what options might be available for their prevention or mitigation. This document will be presented to Cal/EPA and its boards and departments to serve as a source of scientific information to help guide their ongoing efforts to protect the future quality of California's environment.
