This Conference is a continuation of the very successful ICOBTE series. Recent ICOBTE conferences were held in Australia (2005), China (2007), Mexico (2009), Italy (2011) and USA (2013). As with past conferences, ICOBTE 2015 will offer an excellent opportunity for professionals and students in academic and industrial fields to come together and exchange current information on topics related to the biogeochemistry of trace elements.
ICOBTE 2015 will also include special sessions on trace element issues of particular relevance to Japan, including cadmium, mercury and radioactive element contamination. Japan experienced historical mercury contamination and Minamata disease in the past.
