Occurrences of micropollutants in water environment has gained increased attention due to their potential impact on water resources and water safety. The possible impact on the ecosystem and the adverse effects on human health not only drew the attention of regulatory agencies and academia around the world, it has also become an important issue of concern to the International Water Association (IWA). In terms of micropollutants and trace contaminants in water, the Micropol & Ecohazard Conference is a professional conference organized by IWA’s specialist group on Assessment and Control of Hazardous Substances in Water (ACHSW), focusing on issues related to micropollutants in the water environment. The main topics include the detection of micropollutants, the assessment of environmental ecology and human health risks, and the research and development of various pollution control technologies and regulations. The IWA Micropol & Ecohazard Conference hosted by ACHSW has been held 12 times in different countries. The 13th IWA Micropol and Ecohazard Conference, with the main theme of “Towards a Low Ecological and Health Risk Water Environment”, will be a meaningful platform for water quality specialists to share experience and knowledge of micropollutants in water.
