Dioxin Issues in the Pacific Rim Region

We are very excited to welcome hundreds of our friends and colleagues to the 32nd Symposium for Persistent Halogenated Pollutants that will be hosted for the first time in the Southern Hemisphere, in the city of Cairns in Australia in August 2012.  This annual symposium which is commonly known as the ‘Dioxin Conference’ is the premier international gathering forum of scientists from every corner of the world to present their latest discoveries on persistent halogenated organic pollutants and to chart the course of future research.  Each year at the Dioxin symposium, more than 600 papers cover all aspects of research related to POPs from sampling and analysis, levels and trends, epidemiology and toxicology to remediation and regulations, are presented and discussed.
