Resolution on the Purpose of the Society
WHEREAS, environmental policy-making has been hampered by poor comprehension of exposure studies and the effects of environmental exposures on human populations and ecological systems, and
WHEREAS, environmental exposure assessment requires the collaboration of epidemiologists, statisticians, toxicologists, and members of other closely related disciplines, and
WHEREAS, no existing organization provides a forum to which government agencies, industrial associations, or public interest organizations can turn for the organization of multidisciplinary groups to make recommendations on substantive or methodological problem areas in environmental exposure assessment, and
WHEREAS, no existing organization body is available to take the initiative to identify areas or topics in which environmental exposure assessment can impact environmental policy,
THEREFORE, we join in the establishment of the International Society of Exposure Analysis in order to meet these needs and to strengthen the scientific contribution to environmental protection.
