Here are some nice pictures from Prof Habib and Aklima showing the ongoing sampling campaign of PAS in 6 cities across Bangladesh. The last pic shows the ongoing active sampling at the rooftop of Department of Chemistry, Dakar University. Great job!
Cordially Malaysia
On October 21-25, Liu Xin, Shizhen and Zhang Gan payed a fruitful visit to University of Malaya (UM) and University of Malaysia Terrengganu (UMT). In Terengganu, I gave a talk entitled ‘Fate of POPs in marine environment: from coastal to the open sea’, then we had a technical discussion with Dr Le Quang Dung (黎光勇) in UMT on the development of SCP in Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam. We also had time slots for short visits to the beautiful sand beach, the crystal mosque, as well as the China Town in Terrengganu. In Kuala Lampur, we were very happy to meet our long time collaborator/friends, Dr Bon Chui Wei (黄翠薇）and Professor Pauzi Zakaria. We agreed to upgrade the MoU between GIG and UM. It cannot be neglected as an important success that I received from Chui Wei a his-beloved new-version UM mug.
Dr Le (黎）is originated from Vietnam. He obtained his PhD in Tokyo University. We will work together on environmental health in Ho Chi Mihn City of Vietnam.
Let us talk about POPs in marine environment.
