5th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP Fluorinated compounds in materials, humans and the environment -
4th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
We allocate space and emphasis upon the topics of fate and the effects of PFAS such as human exposure, toxicology, ecotoxicology, risk assessment and the needs on regulation. We will provide an outline of analytical techniques with regard to monitor these compounds in their global distribution. Workshop Program
3rd INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ANTHROPOGENIC PERFLUORINATED COMPOUNDS June 15-17, 2011, Amsterdam The Netherlands
The main objective of the workshop is to bring together specialists from around the world in order to present and discuss scientific and regulatory developments related to human exposure to Anthropogenic perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs).
