the ongoing need for research to increase our

”Catastrophic changes in the overall state of
a system can ultimately derive from how it is
organized---from feedback mechanism within it, and from
linkages that are latent and often
unrecognized. The change may be initiated by some obvious
external event, such a a war, but is more usually
triggered by a seemingly minor happenstance or even an
unsubstantial rumor. Once set in motion, however, such
changes can become explosive afterwards will typically
exhibit some form of hysteresis, such that
recovery is much slower than the collapse.
In extreme cases, the changes may be irreversible.”

Children, their health, our human future.
An international workshop was convened in May 2007
to discuss the current body of evidence for effects of
atmospheric pollution on human reproduction, to
identify the strengths and weaknesses of published
epidemiologic studies, to suggest future directions for
research, to foster collaboration and to promote
dialogue between epidemiologists, toxicologists,
clinicians and biostatisticians. Several outcomes
related to human reproduction were the focus of the
discussions, including pregnancy outcomes (intrauterine growth restriction, IUGR, gestational age) and
male reproductive health (semen quality). 1m3?
