The aims of the Emerging Contaminants of Concern Interest Group are:
- To improve awareness, build knowledge and disseminate information on emerging contaminants across the contaminated land and groundwater industry sectors (property owners, government, labs, consultants, contractors, auditors, regulators).
- To assist with providing information that will help the industry manage impacted sites, and minimise human health and ecological risks, as developments arise in the characterisation, risk assessment, regulation, and treatment of emerging contaminants, and as new technologies emerge for their management.
- To increase collaboration within the sector to address concerns relating to emerging contaminants.
- To help site owners / regulators to better understand emerging contaminants and enable informed decision making.
