Environmental Health Risk 2005 is the third International Conference on the Impact of Environmental Factors on Health, the first of which was held at the University of Cardiff, UK in 2001 followed by the second at the University of Catania in 2003.

Health problems related to the environment are becoming a source of major concern all over the world. The health of the population depends upon good quality including air, water, soil, food and others.

The aim of society is to establish measures that can eliminate or considerably reduce hazardous factors from the human environment to minimize the associated health risks.

The ability to achieve these objectives is in great part dependent on the development of suitable experimental, modelling and interpretive techniques, which will allow a balanced assessment of the risk involved as well as suggesting ways in which the situation can be improved.

The interaction between environmental risk and health is often complex and can involve a variety of social, occupational and lifestyle factors. This emphasises the importance of considering an interdisciplinary approach.

The Conference will provide a forum for the dissemination and exchange of information on the diverse aspects of the impact of environmental factors on health across different disciplines.
