The ESB project team Trier will present a poster on Temporal Trends of Lead and Benzo[a]pyrene in Germany and a member of the ESB team of the Federal Environment Agency will give a keynote presentation on Chemical Monitoring in Regulatory Practice introducing the session biomonitoring.

At the 18th annual meeting of the SETAC GLB from 23-26 September 2013 in Essen results from the ESB study on mecury isotopic signatures in fish from German rivers will be presented.
