Our port, the largest in the US, creates extensive freight traffic by train and truck. This conference will consider the scientific and policy issues surrounding critical decisions about how to limit adverse health effects. A multidisciplinary approach will facilitate dialog among experts with toxicology, epidemiology, clinical, economic, engineering, regulatory, and public policy perspectives.

The symposium may be important for professionals with interest in the interaction of research, governmental, community, and corporate approaches to the complex problems of supporting the economic engine while protecting health. It is targeted for academic, governmantal, and community professionals in fields such as toxicology, epidemiology, medicine, economics, engineering, public administration, and public policy. Advanced students may also attend.
