The organizers communicated earlier that they were aiming for a hybrid conference format. Nevertheless, considering the travel restrictions, they have decided to organize a full digital conference from 7th till the 9th of June.

The theme of the 2021 congress is “Bridging Science to Practice for Sustainable Development”.
The Congress will address the broader context of arsenic research within the following themes:
Theme 1: Arsenic in Natural Soil and Water Systems
- Sources, transport and fate of arsenic in groundwater systems
- Biogeochemical processes controlling arsenic mobility and redox transformation
- Arsenic dynamics and well hydraulics
- Climate change Impacts on groundwater arsenic and other redox-sensitive elements
- Co-occurring arsenic and other geogenic trace elements in groundwater sources
- Spatial and temporal evolution of arsenic in mining and legacy mining areas in Europe
- Arsenic mobility and fate in contaminated soils and sediments
- Arsenic in dust and road deposits
- Analytical advancements and challenges on arsenic in arsenic analysis in solid and aqueous matrix
Theme 2: Arsenic in Agriculture and food production
- Processes and pathways of arsenic in agricultural ecosystems
- Dynamics of arsenic in rhizosphere
- Microbial ecology of arsenic biotransformation in soils
- Molecular mechanisms of plant arsenic uptake
- Arsenic in marine biota
- Speciation and toxicity of arsenic in food chain
Theme 3: Health Impacts of Arsenic
- Exposure and epidemiology of arsenic impacts on human health
- Genetic predisposition of chronic arsenic poisoning
- Reliable biomarkers for arsenic exposure
- Neurophysiological and IQ impacts of arsenic
- Risk assessment of chronic ingestion
- Threshold values of food arsenic
- Multi metal synergies in cases of chronic exposure
Theme 4: Technologies for Arsenic Removal from Water
- Adsorption and co-precipitation for arsenic removal
- Ion exchange and membrane technologies
- Nanotechnology applications in arsenic treatment
- Arsenic solidification and immobilization for contaminated soils
- Phytoremediation of arsenic-contaminated soils
- Innovative technologies
Theme 5: Sustainable Mitigation and Management for Sustainable Development
- Societal involvement for mitigations of long-term exposure
- Policy review and design instruments to regulate arsenic exposures
- Risk assessments of contaminated land and water environments – Case studies
- Sustainable Mitigation and management of arsenic in a sustainable way
- Drinking water regulations of water safety plan
- Arsenic in drinking water and implementation plan for safe drinking water supply from sustainable development perspectives
- Role of the academia in addressing the arsenic mitigation – bridging science to practice
