Finally, Adam and Graham have also organised a meeting in the margins of SETAC on Wednesday evening on Implementing approaches to account for metal bioavailability in freshwaters: current status and future look, with speakers from IZA, NiPERA, the US EPA, CSIRO and BC Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy and Winward Consulting. We hope to produce a short discussion paper in IEAM on the outcomes of this.
