From 21 to 22 May, the Faculty of Environment at VNUHCM鈥揢niversity of Science (HCMUS) hosted the First Asia-Pacific Network Regional Training Workshop on Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) and Mercury Monitoring in PM2.5. The initiative was implemented under the framework of the APN CRRP2025-08MY-To project, funded by the Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN) and led by Associate Professor T么 Th峄 Hi峄乶.
The workshop brought together scientists, experts, and representatives from universities, research institutes, and scientific organisations across 水果派AV解说, Japan, the United States, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Taiwan, India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. Discussions focused primarily on air quality monitoring, research into emerging pollutants, and the strengthening of research collaboration within the Asia-Pacific region.
During the programme, delegates presented and discussed various specialist topics regarding the current state of research into PFAS and mercury in the atmospheric environment. Further discussions addressed methods for monitoring, sampling, and analysing PFAS in PM2.5, alongside research trends and monitoring strategies for emerging pollutants in the Asia-Pacific region, whilst fostering the exchange of research expertise and international collaboration among member states.
Alongside academic sessions, the workshop featured laboratory tours at both the Nguyen Van Cu and Dong Hoa campuses of HCMUS. These visits served to demonstrate the analytical instrumentation, sampling procedures, and research capabilities in air quality analysis maintained by the Faculty of Environment.
Through academic exchanges and professional activities, the workshop provided a valuable platform for scientists to share research findings, exchange experiences, and discuss future collaborative directions in air quality monitoring and emerging pollutants. The event further underscores the significant role of HCMUS in environmental research, education, and academic networking within the Asia-Pacific region.
