Aims and Scope
The International Conference on Heavy Metals in the Environment is an international platform where research related to all aspects of metals and other elements in the environment are presented and discussed. It focuses neither on a specific metal nor a specific environmental medium, but instead aims to provide a unique multidisciplinary platform for discussion and presentation of state-of-the-art research to a broad international scientific community.
The ICHMET conference series covers latest findings on behaviour, cycling and pathways of metals in the environment, processes of contamination and environmental impacts to ecosystems, environment and humans, and approaches for remediation. The conference also provides an opportunity to stay on top of the latest developments in tools, approaches and methods to identify, assess and manage metals in various areas of application, including industry, environmental management, societal needs and policy.
Topics may be summarised as follows:
- Pathways, and Environmental Processes
- Heavy Metals in the Atmosphere
