SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The burning of solid
fuels (e.g., wood, charcoal, dung) for
cooking and heat results in a significant
global health burden. According to the
World Health Organization, over 4
million premature deaths per year are
attributed to indoor air pollution from
inefficient use of solid fuels (https://
www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/
fs292/en/). Understanding the health
effects associated with indoor air
pollution is a priority for NIEHS and is
one of the five focus areas of the NIEHS’
World Health Organization
Collaborating Centre for Environmental
Health Sciences (https://
www.niehs.nih.gov/research/programs/
geh/partnerships/index.cfm).
Progress on this important public
health challenge requires a concerted
cross-disciplinary effort involving
exposure scientists, toxicologists,
epidemiologists, engineers, and public
policy experts. Towards this goal, this
symposium will bring together
researchers working in the area of
indoor biomass fuel burning emissions
and health effects to discuss the latest
science including topics ranging from
advances in exposure measurement to

health effects assessed in model systems
and human populations. Additionally,
the symposium will include a panel
discussion about how that science might
inform policies and potential areas for
research funding.
Meeting and registration: This
meeting is open to the public, free of
charge, with attendance limited only by
the space available. Individuals who
plan to attend in person should register
at https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/41613 by
August 4, 2014, to facilitate meeting
planning. Registration is required to

confirming registration. A preliminary
agenda and additional information are
available at https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/

meeting are encouraged to access the
Web site to stay abreast of the most
current information regarding the
meeting.

who need accommodation to participate
in this event should contact Dr. Rider at

should contact the Federal TTY Relay
Service at 800–877–8339. Requests
should be made at least five business
days in advance of the event.
Background Information on the NTP:
The NTP is an interagency program
established in 1978 (43 FR 53060) to
strengthen the Department’s activities in
toxicology research and testing, and
develop and validate new and better
testing methods. Other activities of the
program focus on strengthening the
science base in toxicology and
providing information about potentially
toxic chemicals to health regulatory and
research agencies, scientific and
medical communities, and the public.
The NTP is located administratively at
the NIEHS. Information about the NTP
and NIEHS is found at https://
www.niehs.nih.gov and https://
ntp.niehs.nih.gov, respectively.
