Sampling and Analysis of Emerging Contaminants in the Aquatic Environment
Workshop on Sampling and Analysis of Emerging Contaminants in the Aquatic Environment: Current and Future Challenges
1-2 March 2012 — Oslo, Norway
Over 80 participants from research centres and environmental authorities attended this workshop to discuss the challenges and pitfalls of working with emerging contaminants.
The workshop tackled three specific themes:
- How do we effectively sample for emerging compounds?
- How do we identify the next generation of emerging compounds?
- What are the next-generation emerging compounds?
The main objectives of the workshop (see presentations below as pdf files) were to discuss and evaluate whether the approaches currently in place are effective for the sampling and analysis of emerging contaminants, to develop a framework for identifying the next generation of emerging compounds and see what new contaminants are emerging.
