Only two weeks to go!

Dear members of MilieuChemTox,

The board of MilieuChemTox, in collaboration with the NWO/TTW project 'Exposure, hazard and risk of PFAS in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems', is pleased to invite you to the second edition of their symposium on PFAS.

Date: 6 October 2023, from 09:00h to17:30h

Location: Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU), De Boelelaan 1108, Amsterdam
O|2 building, Auditorium

    Sanne Brekelmans (The Water Laboratory Haarlem)
  • Dynamics of PFAS in the rivers Meuse and Rhine
    Tessa Pronk (KWR)
  • Bioturbation affects bioaccumulation of PFAS: uptake from sediments by a rooting macrophyte and a benthic invertebrate
    Ioanna Gkika (UvA)
  • Macroinvertebrate community responses to PFAS pollution: identification of threshold body burdens
    Cara Byns (Antwerp University)
  • The contribution of PFAS to thyroid hormone-displacing activity in Dutch waters: A comparison between two in vitro bioassays with chemical analysis
    Jaimy de Schepper (The Water Laboratory Haarlem)
  • Chronic toxicity of PFOS to aquatic macroinvertebrates
    Ayesha Siddiqa (Wageningen University)
  • Multigeneration toxicity of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to Daphnia magna and Folsomia candida

  2. Occurrence of short- and ultra-short-chain PFAS in drinking water in Flanders (Francesca Cappelli, Antwerp University)
  3. Adsorption of PFOA and PFOS to ferrihydrite iron oxide nanoparticles (Ke Peng, Wageningen University)
  4. Accumulation of PFAS within a terrestrial food chain indicating species-specific differences (Jodie Buytaert, Antwerp University)
  5. Grounded: needs to understand soil phenomena for PFAS bioavailability and plant uptake (Stefan van Leeuwen, Wageningen Food Safety Research)
  6. Effects of fluorocarbon chain length and polar head groups on the toxicity of per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) (Skylar Xie, Vrije Universiteit)
