Conference on Health and Environment
[March 24-25, 2006]
VENUE: Jacaranda, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi

Health-based pollution control policies and standards assume significance in countries like India, where investments in public health are steadily decreasing and the poor bear the brunt of the disease burden. Solutions to these problems can emerge from a deeper understanding of the diversity of issues and challenges. In this conference we are particularly interested in evaluating the standard setting processes to incorporate health criteria so that a beginning can be made in reducing health risks arising from toxic pollutants.
