AB  - There are currently a number of initiatives aimed at considering and redefining 
      the role of environmental health. These include an effort under the auspices of 
      the Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Environmental Health and another under 
      the auspices of the American Schools of Public Health. Both will result in 
      conferences to be held in the same month of the New York Academy of Sciences 
      (NYAS) conference on "The Role of Neural Plasticity in Chemical Intolerance", for 
      which this paper is being prepared. This questioning of our definition and of our 
      approach to the field of environmental health is an instructive background on 
      which to consider the issue of environmental risks and public health-the topic 
      given to me by the organizers of the NYAS conference. My approach will be to 
      touch on those issues related to the nervous system and to unexplained symptoms 
      in keeping with the subject of the conference, as well as to discuss some of the 
      broader issues surrounding environmental health.
