| Fate, Transport, and Interactions of Metals Michael P. Dieter National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle
Park, NC 27709 USA Abstract
A joint United States-Mexico conference, "Fate, Transport, and Interactions of Metals" was held in Tuscon, Arizona, USA, 13-16 April 1993. The conference was hosted by the University of Arizona Center for Toxicology and co-sponsored by the NIEHS Superfund Basic Research Program, the National University of Mexico Program for the Environment, and the Pan American Health Organization. The purpose of the conference was to promote an exchange of scientific information on potentially toxic metals that may be present in hazardous waste sites. By sharing this technology, the United States and Mexico are better able to define the extent of contamination, evaluate and improve risk estimates for human health, intervene when populations are adversely affected, and prevent or reduce the incidence of pollution in the future.
