Workshop on Integrated Chemical and Bio-monitoring Strategies
Workshop on Integrated Chemical and Bio-monitoring Strategies for Risk Assessment of Emerging Substances
18-19 March 2008 - Lyon, France
With 110 participants, this workshop gathered experts from different communities (the scientific community, environmental water managers and decision-makers, regulators) and offered a precious opportunity for debate about existing protocols and experiences in the application of strategies integrating chemical and biological methods and the concrete possibilities and limitations today for their application in the framework of the current legislation (in particular, the Water Framework Directive), to complement chemical-driven risk assessment approaches.
The workshop programme included 19 presentations and 15 posters organised in three sessions:
- Prioritisation of emerging substances for field monitoring and risk assessment
- Effects-driven approaches for field monitoring and risk assessment of emerging pollutants
- Integrated approaches within risk assessment strategies for monitoring risks from emerging pollutants at local and large scales.
The speakers’ presentations and the posters are available as pdf files.
