The programme includes epidemiology, risk assessment, toxin monitoring, analytical methods in microbiology and biochemistry, health consumer protection, management of farming/harvesting areas, post-harvest treatment, and the macro-economic analysis of the repercussions of shellfish-farming crises.
This conference should make an important contribution to limiting health risks associated with microbiological, toxinic and chemical contamination of coastal areas. It will also address the identification of chemical contaminants and target species that represent significant risks for consumers, and aim to improve the development of high performance detection tools to prevent and/or monitor contamination - which will thereby contribute to supporting existing marine environment monitoring networks.
