Zero Polluted and Circular Water - Concerning pollutants (PFAS and persistent mobile chemicals, microplastics, AMR): occurrence, fate, health and environmental risk management

Organized by: Ecomondo Scientific Technical Committee & Italian National Institute of Health, Legambiente, Marche Polytechnic University, Utilitalia

CALL FOR PAPERS

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other so called persistent, mobile (PM) substances, as well as other contaminants of emerging concern, are being recognized as serious threats to the safety of water resources. The way towards a zero pollution, toxic-free environment need knowledge and know-how about analytical methods and environmental chemistry, source detection, transport and fate, preventive measures, treatment technologies and proper legislation. The workshop will present the current scenario and state-of-the-art solutions within the context of emerging technologies and policy mechanism.
