Published 20 April, 2021

Thursday, 22 April 2021, 15:00-17:30 PM (Beijing)

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are global contaminants. Scientific advances on formation mechanisms, environmental behaviour, control techniques and national policy aim to reduce the presence of POPs. An increasing number of new chemicals are found to be persistent in environment and harmful to human health. New POPs are identified and added to international legislation. This webinar will discuss science, techniques and policy in relation to emerging POPs and related fields.
