CRC CARE and the organising committees cordially invite you to participate in the 3^rd International Contaminated Site Remediation Conference and 5^th International Workshop on Chemical Bioavailability, to be held in Adelaide, South Australia during September 2009.

With millions of contaminated sites, spread across every nation and city on earth, humanity is facing an acute environmental challenge.

Every one of the world’s 6.2 billion people is exposed to contamination from past industrial practices, in the soil and water where they live or the air they breathe, even in the most remote regions. The risk to human and environmental health is rising and there is evidence this cocktail of pollutants is a contributor to the global epidemic of cancers, lung and other degenerative diseases.

The challenge is to develop innovative and cost-effective solutions to decontaminate polluted environments, to make them safe for human habitation and consumption, and to protect the function of the ecosystems which support life.

Leading scientists, industrialists and regulators from around the world will gather in Adelaide in September 2009 to explore emerging issues related to the assessment and remediation of contaminated sites, to speed up technology transfer and exchange information on innovative developments in fundamental and applied environmental research.

Your contribution to these events as a presenter, sponsor, exhibitor or delegate is welcomed.  We look forward to seeing you at the conference in 2009.
