Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Programme for Global Paediatric Research
(PGPR) call for abstracts and symposium to be held in Hangzhou, China on
October 26 and 27, 2007. The symposium is entitled ?The Effect of
Environmental Pollutants on Foetal and Child Development: A Global Issue?.

A comprehensive announcement and call for abstracts can be obtained from David 
Zakus at address above. We ask that you please distribute this pdf to your 
colleagues
throughout the world. The deadline for abstract submission is July 31,
2007.

This symposium follows the most recent PGPR symposium and workshop held in
Toronto last month. The titles of those sessions were Global Childhood
Diseases Which Can Impair Development and Researching Outcomes for High
Risk Newborns and Children in Developing Countries. In those meetings we
discussed social, political and disease factors which could interfere with
normal child development. The October meeting in Hangzhou considers yet
another major cause of developmental failure in children, environmental
pollutants.
