Mercury as a Global Pollutant Conference

The 15th International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant (ICMGP) will be themed “Reducing Mercury Emissions to achieve a Greener World”.

The 2022 event will be a Virtual Event running on the 25th-29th July 2022.This meeting will seek to assess implementation of solutions to reduce the emissions and exposure to mercury as a global environmental pollutant and test the efficiency of implementation of the Minamata Convention in various parts of the world.

The conference will bring together representatives from industry, government, research institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and academia to discuss, inter alia, options for low-mercury energy and industrial technologies and the concept of low-mercury society. The event will also showcase new equipment to measure mercury in various environmental samples, and technology to reduce mercury emissions and exposure.
