This 4-day meeting will provide a forum where researchers in the field of heavy metals in the environment can present their latest research and interact across various disciplines, including metal geochemistry and biogeochemistry, environmental technology and analytical chemistry.
The 18th ICHMET is a continuation of the highly successful conference series that started in 1975 in Toronto, Canada. This conference follows recent meetings in Guiyang, China (2014), Rome, Italy (2012) and Gdansk, Poland (2010). The ICHMET conferences welcome contributions on all aspects of heavy metals in the environment.
