This project summary presents an overview of a 1985 symposium on exposure measurement and evaluation methods for epidemiology cosponsored by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Entitled: "Environmental Epidemiology: The Importance of Exposure Assessment," the symposium was organized by the ACS' Division of Environmental Chemistry, and the EPA's Health Effects Research Laboratory. Held in Chicago on September 8-13, 1985, at the 190th ACS national meeting, the symposium presented papers by more than fifty distinguished scientists representing academia, government and industry in the U.S., Europe and Africa. After a brief assessment of the need for such a symposium and a statement of its intent, this project summary identifies the subject material and the affiliation of the authors.
