6th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON EMERGING CONTAMINANTS (EmCon2018)
25-28th of June 2018Oslo Science Park , Oslo, Norway
Keynote speakers
EmCon and the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) are pleased to invite you to the next international conference in the EmCon series meeting where we bring together international scientists from across the globe to present and discuss the latest research on all aspects regarding emerging contaminants from all around the globe.
CONFERENCE SCOPE
This conference provides an excellent forum for presenting the latest research on all aspects related to the rapidly evolving topic of emerging contaminants across all environmental compartments (e.g. surface water, groundwater, bed sediment, soil, air, tissue). Contributions are sought on sources and exposure pathways, treatment processes and technologies, sampling, analytical methods and approaches, effects in aquatic and terrestrial environments, risk assessment and management and the regulations and policy relating to all aspects of emerging contaminants.
