Conference ThemesAlongside the traditional topics in environmental geochemistry of air,

water, sediments and soils, we will explore the following pressingissues:

Biogeochemistry of trace elements, organic pollutants and radio-nuclidesMedical geology, environmental pollution and public health

Interpretation using GIS, such as health atlas and geochemicalmapping,

whilst allowing for uncertaintyUrban geochemistry, contaminated land and waste managementEnvironmental impacts of climate change and human activities:agriculture,

industry, transport and pesticidesChemicals fate, transport and exposure in environmental extremeeventsMinerals and the environmentPerception and communication of environmental health risks andsocial
