The SWACCS working group for scientific interactions is happy to announce the first scientific interaction seminar.

When May 3 2021, 15:00-17:00 (GMT+2)

What: The topic of this zoom-based seminar is PFAS: current levels in Swedish waters, how to determine a safe level and what can be done to lower the exposure. We have invited three speakers who will give us important information regarding these topics:

1. PFASs levels in Swedish lakes and water reservoirs. Oksana Golovko, a researcher at the Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment, SLU Uppsala.

2. What is a safe PFAS limit in drinking water and when does the exposure become toxic? Mattias Öberg, Associate professor at Institute of Environmental Medicine (IMM), Karolinska Institutet.

3. Can we do anything about the water contamination? Are there any remediation techniques for water and soil? Lutz Ahrens, Associate Professor in Organic Environmental Chemistry at SLU Uppsala.

The presentations will be followed by a plenary discussion. The overall aim of the SWACCS interaction seminars is to enhance scientific exchange and networking between researchers. This is the first organized seminar, but it is our hope that initiatives for new seminars will be taken by members in SWACCS with the overall goal to increase scientific interactions between research groups within topics that are of interest for members. If you want to be part of the SWACCS scientific interaction working group or have suggestions for future seminar topics, please contact elin.engdahl@ebc.uu.se.

The seminar will be held on zoom. The zoom link will be sent to registered participants 1 day before the seminar.
