On August 26-29, Shizhen, Yingjian, Jin Biao and Gan attended the annual workshop on chemical risk management in Shenyang. The serial annual workshop was actually an event of the professional committee of chemical pollution and risk management (化学品环境风险防控专业委员会) affiliated to China Environment Science Association (中国环境科学学会). Jin Biao was invited to give a keynote speech on ‘Persistent Mobile Toxics in the environment’, and  Gan was invited to give a keynote talk on ‘HAPs in the urban environment of China’  and helped to chair the Emerging Environment session of the workshop. This is part of activities to promote the ATMSYC project achievements. Shizhen has been helping with the management and promotion of ATMSYC and Yingjian is going to work on it for his MSc study. Professor Yu Zhiqiang (于志强) of our lab also attended as an invited speaker. We were very happy to meet Professors Yu Yang (于洋)of MEE Centre for Solid Waste and Chemical Management, and professor Mei Surong(梅素容) who worked along with us on ATMSYC.  At the 27th night we were able to have dinner with Yishan’s parents-Gan and Yishan’s father were university classmates! Of cause we enjoyed NE China cuisines and Lu-Chuan. On the 28th afternoon, we spared a half day and paid a short visit to the famous Shenyang Forbidden City (沈阳故宫). The trip ended with a performance of Er-Ren-Zhuan(二人转) in the Dong-Bei-QIng theater (东北情大剧院).

ATMSYC workshop and visits at wuhan

On June 20-22, Shizhen, Li Jun, Jin Biao and Gan paid a visit to Wuhan. Xu Yue joined.

We first attended a workshop held by ATMSYC on the prioritization and list of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) for nation-wide control in China, which is a major task of ATMSYC. The discussions and ideas came with the workshop has been very successful and useful in the following name-listing job. One consensus is that we would provide 3 HAPs lists, one for nation-wide major source emission control, one for environmental health study/assessment in cities, and one as a need-to-care ‘theoretical’ list. The hostresses of the workshop, Professors Wang Youjie (王友洁) and Mei Surong (梅素容) invited us a feast welcome with Creyfish (小龙虾) in the famous ‘Liang-liang-zheng-xia’ (靓靓蒸虾) restaurant at Hankou (汉口). 

On the next day, we payed a short trip in Wuhan University to see the landmark historic buildings of the university, guided by Hairong. Very memorable! We then went to China University of Geosciences (CUG) to meet Professor Qi Shihua (祁士华) and his team. We talked about potential joint collection of groundwater in the Jianghan plain (江汉平原)for a multiple purposes study on PFCs and DBC etc.  Shizhen was happy to see Xing Xinli (邢新丽) and her son who she met in Lancaster.  We also visited a source emission test lab by Professor Kong Shaofei (孔少飞), which was well established and looks impressive.

It has been 2 busy days, but indeed quite fruitful and enjoyable!
