NEERI, Nagpur, INDIA

Organized by

National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) (Under CSIR, New Delhi) Nagpur – 440020, Maharashtra, INDIA

OBJECTIVES

·         Deliberate on recent findings indicating an increased geographical extent of geogenic contaminants

·         Discuss possible health impacts of geogenic contaminants and identify stress parameters

·         Devise strategy for implementing approaches such as Quantitative Chemical Risk Assessment (QCRA) and health based targets

·         Identify technological interventions to minimise geogenic contaminants

·         Study feasibility of implementing interventions and possible bottlenecks in various socio-political settings

·         Evaluate approaches such as nutrient supplementation for integrated mitigation

·         Share experience for integrated mitigation

CONTENT OF THE WORKSHOP

Ø  Speciation and controls on the mobility in groundwater and soils

Ø  Case studies on QCRA and health based targets

Ø  Monitoring tools for geogenic contaminants and mapping by using GIS-based tools to estimate extent of contamination on a regional and national scale.

Ø  Technological interventions to minimise geogenic contaminants

Ø  Creation of technology bank and success stories for common use and implementation

Ø  Developing business models for technological interventions

Ø  Review importance of community participation in planning and implementing interventions

Ø  Operation and maintenance of technological interventions

EXPECTED PARTICIPATION

The invitees for the workshop will be from geogenic contaminated region particularly from developing countries. This workshop will assist in cross-learning on mitigation measures to minimise health impacts of geogenic contamination. In addition, experiences on hydrogeological processes responsible of contamination will also be discussed. An abstract (250 words) highlighting type of geogenic contaminants, geographical extent and mapping and mitigation measures etc. should be submitted to the Organising Secretary before November 30, 2011 which can be further developed to a Country paper on acceptance of abstract.
