Third International Conference on Occurrence, Fate, Effects, and Analysis of Emerging Contaminants in the Environment, Copenhagen, Denmark
26 August 2011 - 26 August 2011
Denmark
The Third International Conference on Occurrence, Fate, Effects, and Analysis of Emerging Contaminants in the Environment will take place from 23 to 26 August 2011 in Copenhagen, United Denmark.
Emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, antibiotics, hormones, personal care products, nanoparticles, and their myriad degradation products have become a worldwide environmental issue and a rapidly expanding research area. Complex mixtures of emerging contaminants have been documented in many aquatic and terrestrial environmental compartments, including plant and animal tissues and drinking water.
Emerging contaminants have been associated with significant environmental impacts and dramatic effects, such as the feminization of fish and the catastrophic decline of vulture populations in Asia, as well as more subtle effects such as altered swimming behavior in amphipods and slowed reaction to a predator stimulus in larval fathead minnows. Without a doubt,, emerging contaminants present numerous challenges for scientists, engineers, regulators and the public.
The conference will focus on the most recent developments and findings concerning the source, occurrence, fate, effects, and analysis of emerging contaminants in the environment, providing a venue for exchange of cutting-edge ideas and information in this rapidly evolving research area.For further information, please visit: http://www.emcon2011.com/index.php?page=WhatIsEmCon2011(opens in new window)
