上涌现的污染物的第六届国际会议（EMCON 2018）在挪威奥斯陆举行的2018年6月。对新兴污染物本专题会议（ECS）与约140名参与者包括科学家，管理，监管机构，学生和行业参加会议非常成功。27个国家出席了会议代表，涵盖了除非洲和南极洲各大洲的参与者贡献33平台，并在活动期间的高品质57个海报介绍。
该单轨会议（即所有的会议是全体会议）与主题涵盖新兴污染物研究的各个方面，如在北极塑料微粒的发生和水处理过程中去除的EC举办。例如，在三个主题演讲之一，卡特琳了Vorkamp（奥胡斯大学）分享了一个成功的故事就多氯化萘的导致他们除了斯德哥尔摩公约名单北极地区内部的合作方式。在会议上其他研究人员还讨论了在北极地区新的污染物，如塑料微粒和个人护理产品的存在，表明污染物从当地安置全球运输以及贡献和需要筛选内皮细胞时，包括北极。
环保塑料微粒显然是一种流行和热门的话题是全球范围内反映在提交了关于这些污染物会谈及海报的数量。会议期间，我们了解了跨越国际边界的监测和塑料微粒研究方法标准化的最新理念和工作。英格莉莎Nerland诺贝特（水研究挪威研究所;蓝色贻贝如何监控NIVA）提出研究（贻贝），用于塑料微粒可用于采样，并且可以提供不同的地方，其中本之间的标准比较。另一研究者（拉结赫尔利;NIVA）提出了一个新的项目，其中塑料微粒的从农业中使用生物固体的影响，并吸收了聚光灯下。由贝蒂娜利布曼（环境局奥地利）海报展示的研究文档化首次塑料微粒的人类粪便样品中存在。本研究接着在2018年以后将接受全球媒体争相报道。
由爱德华Kolodziej（华盛顿州立大学）在主题演讲中美国西部带给观众的注意力城市雨水死亡综合征的问题在银大马哈鱼。爱德华和他的团队使用高分辨率质谱法，以确定轮胎磨损渗滤液发现了大量污染物的潜在负责这些鲑鱼中观察到的有害影响。其次附加详实的介绍对非靶标分析，最近的事态发展，在EMCON社区内展示乐观地认为，这种做法将是在今后的研究确定内皮细胞的一个重要工具。例如，玛丽亚莱赫Lamoree（阿姆斯特丹自由大学）中利用一个非目标的方法作为高通量影响定向分析方法来确定在荷兰的地表水内分泌干扰的一部分。
虽然，一方面，per-和聚氟化烷基化物质（PFASs）可能不再被认为是«新兴»污染物。目前已在PFASs研究已知非疫区和替代化合物的数量回潮增加（目前接近5000种不同的化合物）。与此同时，我们更好地理解环境暴露PFASs的实际患病率，以及越来越多的证据表明不断增加的潜在的环境和人体健康的影响数。保罗·莱希(Victo环保权威ria) presented on the issue from a management and regulator’s perspective and how national environmental management plans are developed and used for regulation and also highlighted the importance of QA/QC work for high quality research and effective management.There were many excellent presentations at EmCon2018 focusing on the relation between sources and compound patterns and how regulation impacts compound profiles found in environmental samples.This is clearly documenting that PFAS is of high interest for researchers and regulators alike.
The list of ECs is continually evolving with new contaminants on the horizon with others having been previously identified but gaining ever greater environmental interest.One such example are salmon lice pesticides, where Steven J.Brooks (NIVA) discussed the bioaccumulation of teflubenzuron and emamectin benzoate in blue mussels.Sarah Hale (Norwegian Geotechnical Institute) talked about REACH registered compounds that are emerging as hazardous ECs in drinking water.The persistence, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) perspective may not always be efficient enough on targeting hazardous compounds in water.Sarah showed how a mobility criteria in addition to the set PBT criteria may help for further regulation and prioritization of drinking water contaminants.Summer time equates to higher use of UV-filter compounds in certain countries.An Australian study by Elissa O’Malley (University of Queensland) reported the global occurrence of UV compounds in surface waters.As UV compounds are, in general, directly related to sunscreen usage.Elissa reported that weather and latitude can be used as predictors for UV-filter compounds in the environment.
How we monitor the complexity of exposures to ECs in urban environments was the focus of a keynote by Alistair Boxall.A range of novel tools were presented that allow for the comprehensive monitoring of a multitude of exposures in urban environments in the future.A complementary approach worthy of consideration when assessing the exposure of populations is wastewater-based epidemiology.The approach was highlighted by Erik Emke (KWR Water Research) who estimated the quantity of illicit drugs consumed by festival visitors through measuring the levels of drug specific biomarkers in wastewater.
It has been challenging to select the highlights from such an exciting week and the EmCon2018 organizing committee were very pleased with the wide range of presentations, the high level of international representation of delegates and high quality of the science presented.We are very thankful to all of our sponsors, and especially our main sponsor Wellington and Norwegian Research Council.The EmCon 2018 conference would not have been possible without their support.ESPI has also kindly sponsored EmCon 2018.
We are already looking forward to the next EmCon conference, which is planned for the 21ST-24日June 2021 in Seattle, USA.Welcome!
