Title: | The 2009 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Workshop on Innovative Approaches for Detecting Microorganisms and Cyanotoxins in Water |
Date: | May 20-21, 2009 |
Location: | Shenandoah Room, #104 EPA Region 3 Offices 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA |
Contact: | Barbara Klieforth (klieforth.barbara@epa.gov) 202-343-9266 |
Purpose: | This workshop is intended to facilitate progress on the quantitative assessment of microbial agents in water and brings scientists together with policy-makers. Success at EPA is dependent, in large part, on its ability to make credible environmental decisions based on solid scientific information and technical methodologies. Reliable, sensitive, robust, and versatile detection and monitoring tools are needed to address the risk assessment and management of known and emerging microbial contaminants in source water, treated water, and/or
in distribution systems. EPA invites one and all to collaborate on furthering the development of cost-effective, timely and innovative technology solutions in assessing and managing environmental risks to human health.
