International Conference on Environmental Research and Public Health - Addressing Environmental Threats to Human Health from Pregnancy to Senility
Event Cancellation Notice
In light of the ongoing global Coronavirus (Covid-19) situation, and more specifically the outbreak in Italy, we regret to announce that we have decided to cancel the event due to take place from 4-6 May 2020. This was a hard decision to take, but it appeared that maintaining the ICERPH at these dates was too risky in many regards. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience this might cause and take this opportunity to thank you for ongoing support to ICERPH.
If you are still interested in conference or have any questions, please contact ic-erph@mdpi.com.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is a very proud and honored moment to announce the 1st International Conference on Environmental Research and Public Health - Addressing Environmental Threats to Human Health from Pregnancy to Senility, organized by the UNESCO CHAIR on Health Education and Sustainable Development established at Federico II University of Nales, in cooperation with the Italian Society of Environmental Medicine (SIMA) and Campus Salute Onlus, and the MDPI open access journal IJERPH.
We hope to bring together leading experts in the field of environmental research and public health, from academia and industry, to share their recent findings. Six sessions will be chaired by experts to address the related topics:
- Environmental Exposure, Health and Safety;
- Epigenetics and Gene-environment Interactions;
- Environmental Epidemiology and Toxicology;
- Endocrine Disruptors;
- Climate Change and Public Health;
- Emerging Issues in Environmental Health.
The conference welcomes inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary nature of contributions from both theoretical and applied perspectives. All accepted abstracts will be published in the proceedings of the conference. Moreover, participants are cordially invited to contribute with a full manuscript to IJERPH Special Issue “ICERPH 2020 - Addressing Environmental Threats to Human Health from Pregnancy to Senility”.
This year, as a sponsor, IJERPH would like to provide awards as elected by the members of the scientific committee.
- Best Paper Award.
- Best Oral Presentation.
- Best Poster Award.
We look forward to welcoming you at the meeting in Naples!
