Here is an an opportunity for ESA members to present their research on environmental endocrine disrupting compounds to a broader audience.
Call for Papers and Expert Speakers: EDC Track at the 2007 EWRI Congress Conference Dates: Tuesday, May 15th through Saturday, May 19th 2007 Topic: Endocrine disrupting compounds in the environment: the compounds, sources, transport, degradation, measurement, effects on wildlife and humans, removal The Water Supply Engineering (WSE) and Water Pollution Control (WPC) Technical Committees of the Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Council (WWSC) have recently established a Task Committee on Endocrine Disrupting Compounds (EDCs). EDCs are chemicals which can mimic or block the action of natural hormones. The EDC Task Committee is working to present a symposium and paper sessions at the 2007 EWRI Congress in Tampa, Florida on the topic of EDCs in the environment as well as treatment techniques being developed. The abstract deadline is September 15, 2006. Abstracts from our multidisciplinary community are welcomed. ASCE/EWRI membership is not necessary. On-line abstract submission is required and easy at www.asce.org/conferences/ewri2007 <http://www.asce.org/conferences/ewri2007>. Abstracts should be in English and no longer than 500 words. Authors whose abstracts are accepted and who submit a final paper are expected to attend the congress. The committee encourages presentation of student research on EDCs. One prize at the undergraduate level and one at the graduate level will be presented at the Tampa meeting.
