Working Group Environmental Monitoring

In the Working Group Environmental Monitoring of the GDCh Division of Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology, scientists from various disciplines are involved in exchanging experiences and developing contributions to the continuous improvement of the quality of environmental monitoring.

Key topics are discussed at two to three working group meetings annually. A particular focus is on making the collected monitoring data usable. As part of the annual "Environment" conference, which the Division and SETAC-GLB jointly organize, the working group holds scientific sessions on current environmental monitoring topics.
