The Science Advisory Board for Contaminated Sites (SABCS) in British Columbia is pleased to announce our 14th Annual Conference on Contaminated Sites, to be held in Vancouver, BC, Canada on September 25 (Workshop) and 26 (Conference), 2024. Both events will be in-person with the option to attend virtually (hybrid event).
Over the past thirteen years, the SABCS conferences and workshops have brought together speakers and participants from industry, government, and academia to share innovation, application of technologies, best practices, and lessons learned, through presentations and discussions. We seek to promote excellence and diversity in scientific inquiry and solutions through presentations by individuals representing different perspectives and disciplines.
WORKSHOP
September 25, 2024
New Advances and Challenges for Risk Assessment and Site Restoration with a Special Session on Artificial Intelligence
(Invited Speakers)
Abstract: Human health and ecological risk assessment is often a critical component in the derivation of standards and guidelines and the site restoration process at contaminated lands. The policy framework and science of how to conduct risk assessment continues to evolve. We continue the journey of incorporating Indigenous knowledge and reconciliation in the framework. Risk assessment and site restoration case studies, including large sites, provide opportunities for learning and refining our approaches. Potential challenges are new emerging chemicals and scenarios that are outside of those previously commonly encountered.
Details on presentations and speakers will follow soon.
