The world around us has changed in easily discernable as well as strangely complicated and unclear ways, adding new dimensions to old fears and new fears to old situations.
The new millennium offers us a rapidly changing environment full of wonderful new conveniences that bring with them a whole host of challenging and often avoidable perils. New products, changes in food ingredients, modern safety regulations, dealing with new technologies, routine exposure to hazards and toxins, and educational toys that inhibit development are just a few of the topics which are likely to be covered by this panel.
