New tools for bio-monitoring of emerging pollutants
Workshop on New Tools for Bio-monitoring of Emerging Pollutants
29-30 October 2007 - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The workshop was organised by IVM Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. More than 60 participants attended the workshop with 20 keynote presentations and 7 posters.
The workshop included four sessions:
- Current approaches to biomonitoring in the field
- Modern approaches for development of biomonitoring tools
- Biomonitoring: from lab to field
- Identification and measurement of emerging pollutants
The speakers’ presentations are available as pdf files.
