This year the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) has added a new way to participate in the Call for Abstracts process for the Annual Educational Conference (AEC) & Exhibition. It is called, "Be a voice" and it gives you the opportunity to tell us what you'd like to experience at the AEC. Tell us topics you'd like to hear about and speakers you'd like to see. Review abstracts and provide input.
Help NEHA develop a training and education experience that continues to advance the proficiency of the environmental health profession AND helps create bottom line improvements for your organization!To search for specific abstracts, please use the search box located at the top left of the page (*next to the Blogger icon).

vehicle". Working with CDC, FDA issued an import bulletin targeting
the suspect foods for sampling, import data was analyzed and tracebacks by
the Texas Rapid Response Team were initiated. The combined efforts resulted
in a synergy that identified the vehicle to be contaminated papaya from
Chiapas, Mexico.
