Welcome to ISPAC21 in Trondheim 2007
Early registration is too late, but it is still possible to register to participate at the conference!
The ISPAC21 symposium is hosted by The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway.
The setting for the symposium is very fitting, as NTNU is world renowned for its high standard of education. With this highly innovative research institute as a backdrop the organising committee will strive to deliver a quality event that through its results will aid the delegates towards creating solutions for the many environmental threats facing our communities.
The 21st International Symposium for Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (ISPAC 21) will deliver a broad spectrum of research into the different stages and effects of PACs, including:
• ANALYSIS, STANDARDS
• OCCURRENCE, BIOAVAILABILITY, LONG RANGE TRANSPORT
• METABOLISM, HUMAN EXPOSURE AND RISK ASSESSMENT, PACs IN FOOD
• FORMATION, SYNTHESIS AND APPLICATION
• PACs IN PETROLEUM SPILLS AND PRODUCED WATER, PETROGENIC AND PYROGENIC PACs
