New design of BioMAP

 

BioMAP - Biomonitoring of Atmospheric Pollution -

 

is an international scientific organization that provides an opportunity for an inter-change of ideas among researchers, policy-makers and practitioners in environmental sciences. Attention will be focused on qualitative and quantitative aspects on biomonitoring of atmospheric pollutants with biological species.

 

Chairman: Prof. Dr. Bert Wolterbeek, NL

Fukushima Excursion

After the ICOBTE Conference in Fukuoka we had the possibility to join the Fukushima Excursion organized by the University of Fukushima.It is over four years since the Great East Japan Earthquake/ tsunami and the subsequent nuclear accident happened. In this excursion starting in Sendai, it was possible to visit Okuma, a town located at approximately 5 km west of TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Until today Okuma is a restricted area (difficult to return zone). Within this area members of the Fukushima University are operating experimental fields to examine ways to reduce radiocesium uptake by crops.

Experimental Field of the University of Fukushima in the restricted area Okuma (dificult to return zone), approximately 5 km west of TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (16th July 2015).

About 80 participants from 20 countries joined the BIOMAP workshop.
