The 4th international conference on environ pollu and health in Tianjin

On May 18-20, a group of us (Jin Biao, Haoyu, Jibing, Liu Xin, Shizhen, Zhang Gan) joined the 4th International Conference on Environmental Pollution and Health which was held in Tianjing, hosted by Nankai University ( 南开大学)。Haoyu, Jin Biao both presented their posters, and Jibin gave a nice oral presentation. I also visited Tianjing University for a quick view of the newly-established Institute of Surface Earth System led by Professor Liu Congqiang (刘丛强). On the conference we met many good friends, including particularly former group members Zhao Zhen (赵祯), Promita, Li Qilu (  李琦路)and Tang Jianhui (唐建辉). I was very happy to see a student of Li Qilu, Cheng Xianghui (程相会) giving an oral presentation in my session.

On May 16-18, Shizhen, Liu Xin and Gan Zhang attended the 2018 POPs Forum in Chengdu. Liu Xin gave a presentation on the meeting on her artificial forest and POPs story. Hairong and her student Zhang Sheng (张珅) also attended and had an extensive discussion with Gan on aerosol study in Hubei. We took the opportunity to visit Kuanzhaixiangzi (宽窄巷子)for nice food and fun at night. We were also happy to see Mr Yang Kong (杨孔)who is a student of Li Qilu of Henan Normal University and presented a talk on a student session, chaired by Gan.

This is one of the best organized forum in the POP circuit.

Signing of MoA between GIGCAS and University of Dhaka, Bangladesh

On 28th-31st Jan of 2018, Prof. Gan Zhang, Dr. Xin Liu and Manqing Wu were invited to visit Bangladesh for signing a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with University of Dhaka, to further strengthen collaboration in our ongoing project, Southern Contaminants Programme (SCP, 2017-2019). The MoA covers several areas including exchange of researchers, cooperation on scientific and educational activities, and sharing of academic resources. Professor Habib from Department of Chemistry made great effort to facilitate this cooperation. Many thanks to his enthusiastic hospitality, we met a lot of host friends and visited a heavily polluted river (Buringanga) and a dumping site (Demra). In fact, Prof. Habib and his group members have deployed 1 AAS and ~40 PAS across Bangladesh.
