An emerging picture of organic micropollutants in groundwater in the London area

This meeting is focussed on exploring the chemistry and toxicity of Contaminants of Emerging Concern (emerging contaminants) which are those that have recently been discovered in soil and water environments and are considered to be a potential risk to the environment and/or and human health. The meeting will also explore “common historic contaminants” in the ground that are generally recognised as a risk to human health and/or the environment. These contaminants are present in the environment generally due to a historic lack of regulation, poor use, storage practices and waste disposal and are now subject to remediation.
