The coming 8th Late Summer Workshop will discuss the state of research and knowledge on "Chemical and biological transformation processes and tools for their investigation". It will feature invited lectures of outstanding scientists in this field. Young scientists focused on microplastics research should feel concerned.
The 8th Late Summer Workshop will be organised by the Water Chemistry Society (Chairman: Prof. Dr. Torsten C. Schmidt) and its Expert Committee "Oxidative processes", "Evironmentally relevant transformation processes in the water cycle" and "Environmental isotope chemistry".
