Workshop
Persistent, Mobile and Toxic Substances:
A challenge for Analytical Chemistry and Water Quality
Control
21st - 22nd January 2020
General Information
Persistent and (very polar) mobile substances (PM substances) are a potential threat to water quality. Neither biodegradation nor sorption removes such compounds from water. This is particularly critical if the substances are also toxic (PMT substances). This workshop wants to foster the scientific development in order to improve our abilities to evaluate the significance of PM (PMT) substances for water quality, wastewater reuse and drinking water supply. We cordially invite researchers, practitioners and further stakeholders involved in water quality monitoring, and water treatment and control from national and EU level to share their knowledge on PM(T) substances, elaborate how to close knowledge gaps and how the load of PM(T) substances can be reduced. → For more information on the workshop, please download the leaflet here.
