The Micropol & Ecohazard Conference 2015, to be held in Singapore from 22-25 November 2015. The conference is the 9th biennial specialist conference of the IWA Specialist Group on Assessment and Control of Micropollutants and Hazardous Substances. It is organized by the Environmental Engineering Society of Singapore (EESS) and supported by PUB, Singapore's national water agency, and the Singapore Exhibition and Convention Bureau.

As micropolluants issues have become increasingly important due to rapid population growth, industrialization, and so on, it would be of great importance to have such a chance to gather water professionals from all over the world to share technical expertise and solutions in micropllutants monitoring, treatment and management and to foster potential international cooperation. Emerging contaminants with known or unknown health effects, once produced, will find their own way to enter into the aquatic environments. Their fates and behaviours in the water environment are still not fully understood and their associated risks have not been clearly known. Removal of emerging contaminants still remains as a big challenge in today's water industry after the bulk pollutants such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus are successfully dealt with for decades. Regulatory framework relevant to emerging contaminants is still under early development stage. This conference will thus provide a wonderful platform for an exchange of views and experiences on best practices and innovative technologies in dealing with emerging contaminants and their potential impacts amongst relevant policymakers, operational experts, researchers, scientists and engineers from governments, international organizations, institutions and industries.
