NERL's 2003 Science Forum Abstracts & Poster Presentations
EPA's 2003 Science Forum was held May 5 - 7, 2003 in Washington D.C. Under the overall umbrella of Partnering, the Science Forum consisted of four main themes for which plenary sessions and sub-theme breakout sessions were developed. The themes were Year of Water, Homeland Security, Moving Science into Action, and Emerging Technologies. The poster abstracts and posters by the National Exposure Research Laboratory's (NERL) Scientists' presented at the 2003 Science Forum are linked below in PDF format along with contact information.
Note: Since the poster PDF files were created to be printed as posters, some of the files are very large. Please note the file sizes. The abstracts are single pages.
- Year of Water: 30 Years of Progress Through Partnerships
- Homeland Security
- Moving Science Into Action
- Emerging Technologies
You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view some of the files on this
page. See EPA's PDF page to learn more about PDF, and for
a link to the free Acrobat Reader.
