CONFERENCE During the last months and years new
scientific data on formaldehyde has been
generated from a variety of studies. In order to
gather and discuss all newly available scientific
research and study results on formaldehyde from
the various fields of research, FormaCare has
organized this Scientific Conference as a forum
for scientific dialogue. The Conference aims to
present and discuss two key aspects of research
into formaldehyde, which are of equal scientific
relevance. The programme is therefore divided
into one section that focuses on the epidemiology
and one that explores the toxicology of
formaldehyde. Each session starts with several
expert lectures and presentations, to be followed
by an expert panel discussion to summa-rize and
complete the session. The lectures will be given
by scientists who have recently concluded or who
are currently working on new research into
formaldehyde on both sides of the Atlantic.
Furthermore, there will be a brief session on
Occupational Exposure Limits.
