International Session in the 22nd Symposium on Environmental Chemistry, Tokyo 2013, Japan
Call for Application
We are pleased to organize the International Session in the 22nd Symposium on Environmental
Chemistry, to be held at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology during July 31 to August
2, 2013, in Fuchu, Tokyo. The symposium is annually held by the Japan Society for Environmental
Chemistry to discuss the various aspects of environmental contaminants. The topics of thesymposium include analytical methods of the contaminants, distribution and fates of chemicals inthe environment, and their effects on wild life and human being. Although the presentations of thesymposium are done basically in Japanese, we have the International Session where allpresentations and discussions are in English.
The International Session calls papers on Environmental Pollution in Asia. We welcome
papers of original researches on analytical and monitoring methods of contaminants, distributions
and behaviors of the contaminants in atmospheric, aquatic, soil environments, accumulation andtoxicity of the chemicals in biota, treatments of the contaminants and so on. The target
contaminants cover inorganic and organic including heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants,
endocrine disrupting chemicals, hydrocarbons, PPCPs and so on. All participants are expected tomake oral presentation in English (20 - 30 minutes including questions and answers).
We will give financial support to selected presenters. The support will be up to 120,000
JPY for each of the selected presenters. We are planning to offer the supports to 6 selectedpresenters. The selection will be done by organizing committee based on the quality of the abstract
associated with the application form. The committee will highly evaluate the original researches
based on analytical results rather than review papers and combination of past researches. Thecommittee will inform the results of the selection by the end of April, 2013. The selectedparticipants will utilize the support for air tickets, registration fee (10,000 JPY), accommodation feeand so on. The participants will buy the air tickets by themselves. The fund will be given at theconference.
