2024-09-29 Weiru Wang

On Aug 27th, Dr. Roland Weber, independent environmental consultant for UN Organisations, gave a speech on three continuous topics of “1. International Conventions Relevant for Controlling PFASs and Related Monitoring; 2. PFAS contaminated sites -selected case studies regulatory actions and some lessons learned; 3.Some lessons learned from disposal of low volatile POPs waste and related contaminated sites and risks.”

The lecture mainly focused on the development history of the international conventions on fluorinated compounds and case studies of POPs-contaminated sites. Dr. Roland detailly introduced the production and use process of halogenated compounds (including PFAS, chlorinated compounds and bromine compounds) and recalled the experience and lessons of member states in the process of implementing international conventions. He also proposed more human-health-oriented (specifically food safety) regulations should be implemented. In the evening, we had a fancy and authentic dinner together and spent a wonderful evening on the Pearl River. Professor Habib came back from Shanghai and joined the events in the afternoon and evening.

On September 28, three of us (Teacher Ma, Lele and He Kun) gave talks showing the recent progress of their work, and the AirOmics Squad members communicated with Roland on a bundle of topics related to POPs. Roland gave very helpful professional comments and advices. In the afternoon, Gan guided Roland and William to visit the Chan Clan’s Academy (陈家祠), and, after Shizhen’s joining in the evening, they climbed up to the top of Guangzhou Tower and enjoyed the splendid night view of Guangzhou.

On September 29, Roland, Shizhen, and Lele flew to Singapore together, to attend the 2024 Dioxin Meeting there.

Academic saloon at Huanghe River Mouth

2024-09-25 Gan Zhang

On September 12-14, we organized an academic saloon gathering many of the current and former group members and those of our intimate collaborators. The saloon took place at a wetland field research station in the Huanghe River Mouth, which was established and has been managed by the Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone (YIC) of Chinese Academy of Sciences. The event was also a element of the Environmental Geology and Geochemistry Committee of the Chinese Society of Mineralogy, Petrology and Geochemistry. Four keynote speeches, given by Professors Han Guangxuan (韩广轩, vice-director of YIC), Guo Zhigang (郭志刚，Fudan University), Tang Jianhui (唐建辉) and Shizhen (赵时真), respectively, invoked hours of lively discussions among the attendants. We had also time slot to go into the extremely beautiful Huanghe Mouth wetland for sightseeing. We have almost fixed the paradigm of the partners academic saloon of the group, and we will do it one or more times every year. Before the saloon, four of us (Shizhen, Jibing, Jun and Gan) together with Professor Chen Yingjun of Fudan University, also took the opportunity to climb to the top of the Taishan Mountain, which is definitely a great challenge! I also wrote two traditional Chinese poems to record the exiting experience and what was in my heart, upon the journeys.

【甲辰中秋黄河口】
蹈海黄龙生沃土，
荻花鹳鹤上云天。
蓬蒿欲抹胭脂色，
柽柳还思苦水咸。
叩首油机掬宝藏，
知青汗雨化新田。
莘莘鳗草随波浪，
矗石安澜有余闲。
