The 10-11th of September 2007 the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency arranged the 8th meeting of the International Committee on Contaminated Land (formerly the Ad Hoc International Working Group on Contaminated Land). The ICCL meeting was held at the Scandic Hasselbacken, Skansen, in the central parts of Stockholm City. A total of 55 participants attended the meeting, representing 26 different countries.
The meeting consisted of presentations and discussions focusing on issues such as risk assessment and risk communication, quality management, strategies for soil protection, securing remediation and costs and keeping track of information on contamination. An international overview of the practices on contaminated sites was also heard by several interesting presentations from almost every continent.
All the presentations of the meeting can be downloaded using the links on the programme below. It was agreed between the participants of the meeting that separate paper copies of the presentations will not be delivered.
As a co-organizer of the meeting Finland took temporarily over the ICCL secretarial post of the ICCL group. The post of the secretary on the Stockholm meeting was all at once truly enjoyable, but yet very undemanding thanks to our wonderful Swedish hosts.
Being the secretary country means that Finland will host the 9th ICCL meeting in Helsinki year 2009. The post of the secretary for the next ICCL meeting will be taken by Common Forum on Contaminated land in the European Union (the network of contaminated land in EU member states and EFTA countries).
With this foreword we would like to thank all the participants of the past Stockholm meeting for accomplishing a great forum for the change of information and learning, and would also like to welcome you all to Helsinki to participate in the 9th ICCL meeting in year 2009.
