ISES 2009. The 19th annual conference of the International Society of Exposure Science will take place from November 1-5 in Minneapolis, MN. Participate in symposia and share ideas that will transform exposure science for the 21st century. For further meeting details and information regarding abstract submissions, please go to: www.ises09.org.

Environmental nanotech. Acetylcholine may help advance toxicology monitoring techniques via miniaturizing nanotechnology. Read this review about how organic biomarkers and magnetic immunoassay lead to novel biomonitoring.

Human oxide accumulation. Accurate assessments of human perchlorate exposure could be achieved by a simple breast milk or urine sampling. Read how an early detection of these oxidants may be developed through an NHANES based pharmacokinetic model.

Submitting a review? If you are interested in submitting a review to the journal, please contact our Associate Editor of Reviews, Paul Lioy, PhD.

Defining human exposure science. The journal's name change now requires a definition to further describe its scope. Human exposure science is defined as: the study of human contact with chemical, physical or biological agents occurring in their environments, and advances knowledge of the mechanisms and dynamics of events either causing or preventing adverse health outcomes.

Join the society. The International Society of Exposure Analysis promotes communication among all disciplines involved in exposure analysis, recommends exposure analysis approaches to address substantive or methodological concerns, and works to strengthen the impact of exposure assessment on environmental policy.
