The meeting promoted the nation's environmental health scientific and practice capacity by enhancing the expertise of environmental health professionals, including public health and health-care professionals, academic researchers, representatives from communities and organizations, and advocacy and business groups. The conference aimed to develop and encourage innovative strategies for addressing existing and emerging issues impacting environmental public health, the discipline that focuses on the interrelationships between people and their environment, promotes human health and well-being, and fosters a safe and healthful environment.
