Industry and environmental and occupational health issues

I am writing to enquire if anyone would be interested in participating in a panel for the American Society of Environmental History conference next year. I am looking to form a panel on the link between industry and environmental and occupational health issues. In particular, I would like to examine this subject in the context of the relationship between industrializing countries and so-called "developed countries," although that is not essential.
