Abstract
Reasonable conservation and sustainable development strategies must recognize that species including - plants, animals, and microorganisms, with associated gene diversity in these species, different terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are all part of a bio logically diverse planet Earth. Therefore, sustainable development within environmental carrying capacity and minimal human health risk consequences is a central issue in toxicological and environmental studies and research. Within the concept of environm ental carrying capacity and minimal human health risk, the evaluation and development risk assessment tools should happen simultaneously with new technologies. At the PRIMO 18 conference, we will convene a group of internationally recognized research scie ntists (both as invited and submitted lectures) to address research issues related to cellular absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination, ocean acidification/Climate change, ecotoxicology of large marine vertebrates, emerging compounds/nanomate rials, endocrine disruption, geno- and phenotoxicity, tissue distribution and immune responses, combination effects of environmental stressors, detection and monitoring of biological effects of deliberately dumped chemicals at sea, ecosystem-level effects , computational toxicology, environmental assessment and biomarkers, Arctic pollution and pollution from Oil and gas installations. All these research and scientific issues are integral aspects of global approaches to emerging environmental problems.
