Emerging contaminants in the spotlight: ECHIDNA on show at August conference

Interested in the management of emerging contaminants?  

The upcoming Emerging Contaminants Symposium, running from 19-20 August, will include a look at ECHIDNA: our system to support science-based decision making and management of contaminants of emerging concern. 

The Symposium will bring together leading experts from industry, government and research to explore the current state of knowledge (and gaps) on emerging contaminants.  

Organised by the Australasian Land & Groundwater Association, the Australian Laboratory for Emerging Contaminants and the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry Australasia, and sponsored by WaterRA, it will help support more effective translation of environmental data into risk-based decision making. 

Our afternoon session on ECHIDNA will be facilitated by Prof Fred Leusch, Griffith University, and WaterRA CEO David Bergmann. We hope to see you there!
