Call for Abstracts for ICMGP 2019

Submission of abstracts for 14th International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant is open until March 4th, 2019. Don’t miss the deadline and submit your abstract now!

The theme of ICMGP 2019 is: Bridging knowledge on global mercury with environmental responsibility, human welfare and policy response. Mercury is a persistent and toxic contaminant with adverse impacts on human health and the environment. One of the main topics of the Krakow conference will be the implementation of the objectives defined in the Minamata Convention. The ICMGP 2019 will also follow the tradition of previous successful conferences with synthesis, detailed sessions, and presentations on mercury science, technology, management and health.

The ICMGP 2019 will also provide the opportunity to discuss the options for low-mercury energy and industrial technologies and then the concept of low-mercury society. The Conference will gather scientists, policy makers, experts from industry and producers of equipment for mercury emissions reduction and mercury concentrations and exposure monitoring.
