| Abstract |
Representatives of 48 states, 2 U.S. territories, 12 tribes, 7 federal agencies, 3 Canadian provinces, and other interested organizations and individuals attended the 2004 National Forum on Contaminants in Fish. The forum was sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and was held January 25-28, 2004, in San Diego, California. The agenda, developed by a steering committee made up of representatives of state and federal agencies, presented a variety of perspectives and approaches to assessing and communicating public health risks related to fish contamination. Topics included monitoring contaminants in fish, approaches to melding commercial and noncommercial fish advisories, mercury issues (including the national mercury advisory), and risk management issues. The forum also included several regional workgroup meetings for state and tribal representatives to talk candidly about assessment approaches and needs. A poster session reception was also held to further the exchange of ideas. This document presents the proceedings of the forum. It contains abstracts of presentations, copies of the slides used by presenters, transcriptions of questions and answers raised during the forum, and other information presented at the forum. |
