About IPSW
IPSW aim to attract a diverse audience from experts in the passive sampling development and application technologies to new users becoming more familiar with the PS advantages. All together working to advance the science behind PS and increase the use of PS approaches to meet risk assessment, policy, and regulatory needs. The IPSW platform has transformed from a local event into an internationally recognised platform of experts in the PS field.
With the continued maturation of passive sampling, this meeting will provide opportunities to share knowledge and experiences related to specific practical applications of these tools, novel uses, regulatory acceptance, and future directions of development.
14th International Passive Sampling Symphosium and Workshop
We are happy to invite you to upcoming 14th IPSW in France, University of Limoges 12th-14th May 2024 after SETAC in Seville.
14th IPSW in Limoges is coming! All updating information for participants is on the next tab http://www.ipsw.eu/limoges-2024. Participant registration and suplementary abstracts submission is still open.
IPSW in the USA
Due to unexpected reasons, we had decided to postpone IPSW in the US from 2023 to early 2025. We will continue with the format: one year in Europe, second year in the US. The venue in the US will be specified later, one possibility is San Diego, California.
Topics
The programme will be assigned to the following key topics reflecting the development and application of passive samplers in air, sediment/soil and water:
- Hydrophobic compounds
- Hydrophilic compounds
- Volatile and semi-volatile compounds
- Metals, inorganic compounds
- Development of novel passive sampling devices
- Environmental applications and monitoring with passive samplers
- Toxicity assessment based on passive sampling methods
- Key aspects for QA/QC, accreditation, data treatment and interpretation
- Environmental policies and strategies for implementation of passive samplers
Do not hesitate to contact us for any proposal for additional workshop topics.
Hybrid structure
- On-site – oral presentations and posters
- Online – presentation recording+book of abstracts. Detailed conditions will be specified at the second announcement according to the registered participants number.
