IFEH 12th World Congress on Environmental health

Dear Colleagues,

The Organizers of the 12th World Congress on Environmental Health have a great honour and pleasure of inviting you to take part in this Congress to be held on 21st-27th of May, 2012, in Vilnius, Lithuania.


The Congress will focus on the most relevant issues that reflect the main theme of the Congress – “New Technologies, Healthy Human Being and Environment” including traditional topics and aspects of environmental health, such as health impact and health risk assessment, noise and electromagnetic fields impact, food safety and public education. The Congress will touch as well new challenges to public health - such as information technologies, gene engineering, new epidemics, climate change and other.
Vilnius, the historical capital of Lithuania, dating back to the 14th century, has the most beautiful and the largest old town, awarded with the status of World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, with Vilnius University being the oldest one in Eastern Europe. It is rapidly expanding as a modern European capital, so you can experience the harmony of the old and the new Vilnius. For the participants of the Congress this will provide beautiful atmosphere and the mood for work and friendship.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Vilnius!

With warm regards,
