INVITATION AND CALL FOR PAPERS

Environmental Pollution is one of the most challenging problems facing the

international community; it has clear and known impacts on human health
and natural ecosystems. Understanding and managing environmental
relationships associated with economic development, population growth,
ecology and human health requires inter-disciplinary interactions and co-
operation among social, physical and life scientists. The international
conference on environmental pollution, water conservation and health
(ICEPWCH-2010) aims to bring together students, engineers, scientists and
other professionals from different countries, involved in various aspects of
environmental science to exchange and share their experience, new ideas,
research results and latest developments in all aspects related to
environmental pollution, water conservation and its impact on ecology and
human health.

environmental engineers, administrative officials, scientists, medical doctors,
industrialists and community representatives to discuss the current scenario
on various legal, administrative and health issues of environmental pollution
in India, and to suggest solutions and policies to be adopted.
