SUMMARY:SA PD event: 30th August 2018
DESCRIPTION:Presenter 1: Dr Len Turczynowicz\nTitle of talk Exposure scienc
 e and the International Society of Exposure Science\n\nBrief\nIn undertaki
 ng human health risk assessments for environmental and occupational health
  the key areas include the toxicology of the hazardous substance and the 
 exposure assessment for the affected individual or community.  While toxi
 cology has been well represented over the years\, exposure assessment eith
 er via modelling or measurement is not such a recognised science\, however
  recent efforts have focussed on such recognition through the use of the t
 erm\, 'exposure science' and an international society was formed to furthe
 r this field. Exposure science and the International Society of Exposure S
 cience will be briefly explored in this presentation.\n\nDr Len Turczynowi
 cz\nLen has worked in the field of public health\, toxicology and human he
 alth risk assessment for over 30 years\, with 20 years in the SA Health an
 d the balance in private consulting and at the University of Adelaide.  
 Previously he undertook chemical and microbiological analyses in governmen
 t food and air quality laboratories following a period of studies in pharm
 acy.   He has worked across a diverse range of public health areas such
  as asthma and risk factors\; site contamination including development of
  national guidelines\; and the assessment and mitigation of environmental
  and occupational exposures associated with a range of settings.  He has 
 published and presented papers at the national and international level an
 d his recent research focussed on understanding inhalation exposure from v
 apour intrusion.\n\nPresenter 2: So Young Lee\nTitle of talk: Exposure ass
 essment of blue light sources in the occupational visual field\n\nBrief\nB
 lue light is emitted from a variety of light sources and can damage the re
 tinal photoreceptor cells and result in macular degeneration in the short 
 or long term. Workers identified as having potentially significant blue li
 ght exposure include welders\, medical personnel and dental clinicians. Wo
 rkers who are routinely exposed to particularly intense artificial sources
  such as white LEDs\, metal halides or arc lamps may be at greater risk. T
 his is an exploratory research aimed to gather evidence about blue light e
 xposures and risks of retinal photochemical damage in the occupational vis
 ual field through existing literature review and empirical case studies.\n
 \nSo Young Lee\nSo Young Lee majored in optometry and public health (envir
 onmental health) in South Korea and is now training to become a visual erg
 onomist in Australia. Her current research is about the photochemical dama
 ge from blue light exposure in the workplace and it is an international co
 llaborative research between Italy and Australia. This area is not only ex
 citing\, but also a challenging field of study.
