Today United Nations Geneva: coordination group meeting of the United Nations Stockholm Convention on preparations for the 3rd Regional Monitoring Reports. The Global Monitoring Plan collates & shares POPs levels in air, water, human blood & milk: pops.int Global Environment Facility (GEF) EU Environment Rolph Payet


Gathering of POPs monitoring experts aiming to plan the next (3rd) round of regional monitoring activities, under the United Nations Stockholm Convn Global Monitoring Plan for a #CleanPlanetHealthyPeople Global Environment Facility (GEF) EU Environment Rolph Payet GENeva Environment Network


Enjoying traditional Swiss cuisine at #CafeduSoleil in Geneva. Great to catch up with Global Coordination Group colleagues to discuss progress towards the 3rd Global Monitoring Report #GMP3 for Stockholm Convention The Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions

Another great presentation by Jasmin Schuster on PACs in Athabasca oils sands at #SETACToronto ...ECCC SciTech Environment Canada #albertaoilsands


Just accepted in Environmental Science & Technology Journals our first study on UV filters in urban air! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… ECCC SciTech


Dechlorane Plus (DP) is under discussion for listing under the Stockholm Convention on #POPs. The #GAPSNetwork just published a retrospective analysis for DP in air on a global scale. ECCC SciTech Stockholm Convention The Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…


New! Postdoctoral Position(s) at ECCC in Toronto investigating chemical mixtures in air, passive sampling, health impacts, POPs/PACs. Application deadline March 8, 2021. Contact [email protected] and [email protected] for more information. GAPS Network ECCC SciTech


Legacy #POPs have been monitored under the #GAPSNetwork since 2005. Our paper on the temporal trends analysis is online now. ECCC SciTech Stockholm Convention pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Our new paper reporting trace metals in ambient air across the GAPS Network has been published in Environmental Science & Technology Journals. Low-cost passive sampling can aid in identifying changes to metal concentrations in air. ECCC SciTech Environment Canada pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Our new paper using open-source land-use data to quantify and rank the remoteness of air monitoring sites from human infrastructure, applied to GAPS Network sites. Can link results from independent studies and for other chemical classes ECCC SciTech doi.org/10.1021/acsome…

Congrats! Egide KALISA for leading our proof-of-concept paper on tracking #eDNA (#bioaerosols, #bacteria, #fungi, #aerobiome) in air using GAPS Network type #PUFdisk passive air samplers. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
