Talk Title : "Emerging contaminants of water : Game of constant catch up?"
Abstract
This interactive discussion would focus on the most abundant, most
essential, most mismanaged and one of the planet's greatest natural
resource - Water. Anthopogenically triggered emerging and dangerous class
of xenobiotic contaminants have reached ocean depths of nearly 11000 m
(Mariana Trench). Newer and versatile ways of analyzing water and
detecting these contaminants is in demand. This talk would focus on few of
the approaches that enable early detection of such chemically-silent
contaminants. It would leave an open question - is the water you drink
safe?
