Natural Sciences: Far From Home – The Interdisciplinary Science Of Chemical Pollution With Professor Crispin Halsall, Society For Natural Sciences

November 17 @ 12:30 – 13:15

There are an array of chemicals (certain pesticides, industrial chemicals etc) that are very persistent in the environment and pose a health risk to humans and wildlife.

Some of these chemicals can undergo long range environmental transport and end up in very remote regions like the Arctic.

With a focus on organofluorine ‘forever’ chemicals Professor Crispin Halsall (Director of Natural Sciences at Lancaster University) will explore the interdisciplinary science used to understand this issue as well as improve global chemical-use policy.

In this event, Crispin is representing the Society for Natural Sciences, a national learned society that promotes interdisciplinary science education and research.
