FOREWORD
The "Fourth European Symposium on Organic Micropollutants in the
Aquatic Environment" was held in Vienna (Austria) from 22 to 24 October
1985. The Symposium was organized wi thin the framework of the Concerted
Action COST 641* which is included in the Third R&D Programme on the
Environment of the Commission of the European Communities.
The aim of the Symposium was to review recent scientific and
technical progress in the area of organic micropollutants in the aquatic
environment and to present relevant research papers related to analytical
methodologies, transformation reactions and transport of organic
micropollutants in water, and water treatment processes. A special session
was devoted to theoretical aspects and future acti vi ties. Furthermore,
special poster sessions were organized where original contributions were
presented.
This book presents the Proceedings of the Symposium including all
review papers, presentations of research papers and extended versions of
all posters. We believe that these Proceedings provide a good overview of
the activities in this field in Europe. We are confident that it will
constitute a valuable contribution to the understanding and solution of the
problems posed by organic micropollutants in the aquatic environment.
The Commission of the European Communi ties whishes to express its
grati tude to the co-organizers of the Symposium, Bundesministerium fUr
Gesundheit und Umweltschutz, Wien, and Der Osterreichische
Wasserwirtschaftsverband.
