Natural systems are subject to changing conditions and are not at equilibrium. Thus, a dynamic approach to interpretation of environmental processes is emerging as a key innovative concept essential for a more quantitative understanding and improved assessment of water quality and ecotoxicological risk posed by pollutants.The aim of this conference is to discuss dynamic processes for the interpretation and prediction of the reactivity of chemical species (metals and organic compounds) in aquatic ecosystems and of their ecotoxicological impact.
The topics of this conference include:
chemical speciation dynamics in aquatic media and soils;
bioavailability and biouptake;
ecotoxicology and risk assessment of metals and organic compounds.
Attendance is limited to 75 persons and primarily on the basis of invitation.
