Event Description

This event focuses on the integration of existing research infrastructures into activities that investigate the impact of chemical exposure on health and the factors influencing it. The goal is to establish a Pacific Regional infrastructure network, leveraging existing networks from Europe and North America, to contribute to global efforts in creating a comprehensive human biomonitoring system.

The session will take place on site at the Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences.
