Geneva: 29 September - 1 October 2009
Increasing pressures from pests that vector
or cause diseases demand effective vector control measures
that meet the needs of the public health community and
ensure public and environmental safety. The organisers
have jointly initiated the International Public Health Pesticides Workshop
in consultation with stakeholders to improve the availability of products
to control public health pests in industrialised and disease endemic
nations.
"The International Public Health Pesticides Workshop: An Examination of
the Barriers and Possible Solutions for Bringing New Public Health Pesticide
Products to Market in Developing Countries is organized by the Secretariat
of the Stockholm Convention, in collaboration with the Chartered Institute
of Environmental Health, CropLife International, the United States Environmental
Protection Agency and the World Health Organization."
