The 'International Conference on Monitoring and Surveillance of Asbestos-Related Diseases' will be held from 11 to 13 February 2014 in Espoo, Finland.

Although the use of asbestos has been banned in several countries, the asbestos epidemic is far from over. Asbestos-related diseases (ARDs) are still among the most serious and widespread occupational health hazards in the world despite warnings from international organizations on the health threats they pose.

The goal of this conference is to highlight problem areas in the management of surveillance of asbestos-exposed individuals, as well as to discuss sources of new asbestos exposure. Participants will discuss the most recent research results and the current views of leading experts on asbestos exposure monitoring, diagnostics and early detection of ARDs.For further information, please visit:
