Societal Implications of Hormesis October 5 - October 6, 1998 NIEHS, Research Triangle Park, NC REGISTER NOW This two-day conference will gather outstanding leaders in their respective fields to assess, explore, and debate a number of important societal implications of the concept of hormesis assuming that this phenomenon is highly generalizable, independent of agent, biological model, and endpoint. This conference on the implications of hormesis, represents the first of three conferences that will be held on the concept of hormesis. The subsequent conferences to be conducted over the next two years will concern the scientific foundations of hormesis (conference 2) and how current and future developments in the field of toxicology and risk assessment may be affected by developments in this area (conference 3).
