The objective of the Policy Interpretation Network on Children's Health and Environment is to create a widely supported basis for public health policy related to improving children' s environmental health in Europe and regulatory needs to achieve that global.
Specific objectives are to:
1. Develop an interpretation framework for the (final and intermediate) result of research supported by the FP4 and FP5 programmes, as well as nationally funded studies and other relevant studies;
2. Collect, discuss and interpret the (final and intermediate) results of research supported by the FP4 and FP5 programmes, as well as nationally funded and other relevant studies focusing on children's environmental health;
3. Draw policy-relevant recommendations from the activities mentioned.
The objective of the Policy Interpretation Network on Children's Health and Environment is to create a basis for public health policy related to improving children's environment health in Europe and regulatory needs to achieve that goal. 4 hemes ((indoor) air-pollution, carcinogens, noise, neurotoxicants) will link findings (exposure ass., epidemiology, toxicology, risk ass. data, socio- economic impact) from EU-funded and other studies to policy issues (standard setting, source control). Stakeholders (research, consumers, industry, NGO) will deliver in working groups and annual conferences. Results will be spread via website, conference, national contacts of the EU. The proposal will focus on assessment of the public earth impact associated with study findings, on assessment of potential consequences of such impacts for the level of current environmental quality directives related to children, and on assessment of further policy consequences.
