4th International Conference on First Announcement & Call for Abstracts Engineered nanoparticles and nanomaterials offer many potential benefits as a result of novel properties and behaviour that materials can exhibit when manufactured or precisely manipulated at the nanoscale. While the production of nanomaterials is undergoing exponential growth, their effects on biota, environmental fate and behaviour are still only partially understood. This conference is the fourth in a series of very successful meetings in London and Birmingham. The venue for 2009 will be at the University of Vienna. The conference will be hosted by the Department of Environmental Geosciences. For further information please visit http://nano2009.univie.ac.at THEMES
Registration and Abstract Submission You are invited to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations on any of the themes above.

| Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry UK Branch First Announcement & Call for Abstracts It is now recognised that the regulatory agencies that have responsibility for the environment, must also now consider the impact of the environment on human health. Conversely, the medical community must extend their boundaries beyond the traditional boundaries of public health. This meeting aims to bring together Environmental Chemists, Ecotoxicologists, Biologists, Clinicians, Environmental Health and Public Health Professionals together to debate the current state of the science, science policy, and communication systems amongst these groups. Oral presentations and posters are invited on the following themes:-
Organising Committee: Prof. Richard Handy (Plymouth University); Prof. Michael Depledge (Peninsula Medical School); Dr Brajesh Singh (MacCaulay Institute); Dr Chris Collins (Reading University); Dr Brian Reid (University of East Anglia); Dr Dean Leverett (Environment Agency, U.K).
