The 1st International Electronic Conference on Environmental Health Sciences

Online | 15 November–7 December 2018

Volume Editor: Jon Øyvind Odland, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway

Cover Story: The 1st International Electronic Conference on Environmental Health Sciences was an incredible success. It was our first attempt, and it led to the receipt of some excellent submissions. Some important topics were missed, e.g., global environment, registry epidemiology, and climate change, but it was a good and promising start. The concept of electronic conferences has come to stay, with a huge potential for development, due to its environmentally friendly nature. The precautionary principle should be the basis of all environmental health science approaches based on newly acquired knowledge, including risk assessments and the definition of strategies to reduce contaminant exposure to humans. We will continue to plan new conferences, inviting the very best scientists in our field of knowledge to provide the latest news in science with relevance to the environment and public health at a global basis.
