Machado, Antonio F.
The technical symposium, Regulating Environmental Pollutants: Perchlorates and other Thyroid-active Chemicals, was developed to address the issue of the increasing exposure of humans in industrialized nations to a class of chemicals called endocrine disruptors. The symposium brought together professionals, academics and policy experts to discuss the health consequences to exposure to thyroid-active chemicals in the environment. Chemicals with effects on the thyroid axis are becoming ubiquitous in urban environments, and they have health impacts at every phase of life, from brain development to the development of chronic diseases later in life.

On behalf of the Environmental and Occupational Health (EOH) alumni, faculty, and students of California State University Northridge, and our sponsors, we welcome you to our annual EOH Technical Symposium. We hope that you will find today's program to be of great value. In recent years, alarms have been raised about the potential effects of thyroid-active chemicals in our environment. Proper thyroid function is critical for brain development and pubertal onset early in life and impacts the development of chronic diseases later in life. The thyroid axis governs metabolic rates and a host of other physiologic functions. Our 7th Annual EOH Technical Symposium brings together scientists, physicians, industry professionals, government consultants, and policy experts to consider the issue of thyroid-active chemicals in the environment. A stellar line-up for today's event promises an interesting and informative day. Proceeds from the EOH Technical Symposium are used to promote student educational events, scholarships, and the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health. We hope you enjoy today's symposium and will join us for future events.
