Managing Biosafety and Biodiversity in a Global World - Part 2
"Managing Biosafety and Biodiversity in a Global World - EU, US, California and Comparative Perspectives"
This workshop is the culmination of a two-year project examining the roles that California and the European Union play in defining the forefront of domestic and international environmental policy solutions. The goal of the project is to produce concrete, actionable policy recommendations to further regulatory cooperation between the EU, California and the US on transatlantic environmental issues, including climate change, chemicals policy, biosafety, water regulation, and biodiversity protection. As socioeconomic and environmental issues become increasingly integrated, innovative policy solutions are required to identify and address the complex nexus between society and environment. The project has developed a network of representatives from the US and the EU in academia, industry, the NGO-sector, and government.

Prof FAUSTMAN http://deohs.washington.edu/research-centers/faculty-directory-and-research-interests/elaine-m-faustman shows frameworks to assess environmental and community pathways for pesticide exposure in early childhood and identify factors causing differences in exposure for one child and between children. Data from Washington agricultural communities were modeled to evaluate effects on individuals, households, communities and populations over time. Use patterns of organophosphate pesticides affect cumulative exposures in communities. The studies provide critical scientific insights into factors that drive EPA risk assessments for pesticides.
