Symposiums on Man and His Environment
The following are articles taken from abstracts submitted by the presenters at the International Symposium on Man and His Environment in Health and Disease, held annually in Dallas, Texas. They reflect research findings from internationally acclaimed experts on environmental issues and illustrate some of the many concepts important in Environmental Medicine.
We would like to thank our friend and colleague, William J. Rea, M.D., F.A.C.S., for compiling and preserving the complete collection of symposium abstracts from which these are taken. For the full compilation of extracts from all the International Symposiums on Man and His Environment in Health and Disease, see Dr. Rae’s website: www.aehf.com
