Monitoring and Risk Assessment of Persistent Toxic Substances in Coastal Environments

Duration: 1^st – 20^th Nov, 2022 (20 days)

Host: Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Venue: Guangzhou, China

Course Description

The 20-day training course is funded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) as part of the CAS Belt & Road Initiatives (B&RI). Hosted by the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry (GIG) of CAS, the training course will be focused on the monitoring and risk assessment of persistent toxic substances (PTSs) in coastal environments, by integrating different expertise and covering topics such as:

Chemical pollutants in the environment
Emerging contaminants of concern (new contaminants)
Field sampling and chemical analysis of PTS
Risk assessment of PTS in the environment

Besides serial lectures delivered by international and domestic scientists, intensive hands-on trainings including field sampling, chemical pretreatment and instrumental analysis will be made available for sub-groups of the selected students.

How to apply

The training course is designed towards young researchers, i.e., MSc students, PhD students and postdoctoral fellow, from countries/regions along the 21^st Century Maritime Silk Road (MSR).

PAHs in Bangladesh by PUF-PAS published in AE

2022-08-28 Gan Zhang

The PAHs results from the PUF-PAS sampling in Bangladesh has been published in AE, in the paper entitled ‘ Monitoring of atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by
polyurethane foam-passive air samplers in Bangladesh: Source
apportionment and health risk assessment‘. The paper was written by Prof Habib of Dhakar University, and Aklima (with Prof Cai Minggang, affiliated to Xiamen University), who visited the group many times and deployed many of the passive samplers across the country with Habib. Shizhen finalized the manuscript and monitored the processes. All are of the best!

Initiating the Dongjiang Campaign of the GeoBBC Program

2022-08-11 Gan Zhang

On August 10-11, Xiaofei, Shizhen, Li Jun and Zhang Gan joined with a group from SYSU led by professor Chen Jianyao (陈建耀）to visit Heyuan Hydrology Station (河源水文站）. This denotes a kick-off of our Dongjiang （东江） campaign dedicated to the NSFC Major Program ‘Geochemical Behaviours and Environmental Effect of Black Carbon (BC) Substances ‘ (The GeoBBC). By taking Dongjiang catchment as the research venue, we are hoping to illustrate a ‘regional’ picture of BC from the river source and the Pearl River estuary.

The visit, kindly arranged by Professor Chen, came out to be very successful, owing to his and SYSU’s strong influence on the Guangdong Hydrology Centre (广东省水文中心）and its branch Huizhou Centre (惠州分中心）to which the Station is affiliated. We had extensive discussions with the key staffs of Heyuan Station headed by Mr Tian Zhaowei (田兆伟）. Zhaowei and two of his colleagues Ms Chen and Ms Zhang Di are very professional, knowing Dongjiang in great details. Zhang Di, who obtained her MSc with Professor Chen in SYSU, introduced to us the whole picture of the hydrology stations across the Heyuan Section of Dongjiang. It seems that our Dongjiang campaign of the GeoBBC Program could be carried out as planned, with the expected strong support from Mr Tian and his teem.

After the official visit to Heyuan Station, our team was guided by Zhaowei to visit the Xinfengjiang Reservoir and had opportunity to discuss more with professionals there. We were also able to see inside the dam of the XFJ Hydroelectric Power Plant, and the beautiful scenery of the reservoir which is the second largest in China!

In the evening, Mr Zhou who is the head of the Huizhou Branch Centre of Guangdong Hydrology Centre joined us to ascertain kindly his strong support to our GeoBBC-Dongjiang Campaign.
