[Atmos_enviro_health] Short course in Risk Management for Air Quality and Health

[Rennie DSouza]

	Dear All,
	 
	Please find enclosed the flyer and program for a short-course on "Risk Management for Air Quality and Health" on 1-2 March, 2004.

	This short course which is part of the collaborative program between ANU, NSW Health, Sydney University, BOM, CSIRO and Monash University on the Atmospheric Environment and Health.

	CSIRO Atmospheric Research is holding the short course on 1-2 March, 2004. The two-day course will provide advanced training in the health risk management issues associated with air pollution.  The aim of the course is to provide practical guidance to the practitioner by focusing on the policy measures that Australia uses to control air quality risk specifically the National Environment Protection Measures (NEPM). It will cover the fundamentals of risk and environmental health risk, and examine how those fundamentals of risk management were applied in the NEPMs that relate to the atmospheric environment. The course will include lectures, case studies, a group activity and a tour of an air quality measurement station.

	The course is designed for those to whom it is relevant to understand environmental health risk management and the NEPMs.  It will be useful for public health and environmental practitioners, other professionals working in the areas of health and environment, policy makers at government levels from local to federal, scientists, academics, and students.

	A copy of the course program and brochure can also be accessed via our website at http://www.dar.csiro.au/information/airpollution.html.
