首届极地及高山地区持久性有毒污染物(PTS)学术研讨会

持久性有毒污染物(PTS)是全球普遍关注的重大环境问题之一。有研究在人迹罕至的极地及高山等偏远区域发现PTS的存在，说明PTS已成为全球污染物，但在其全球传输机制上，尚没有明确的结论。我国科学家对极地及高山地区PTS的研究起步较晚，但近几年发展迅速，取得了丰富的成果。青藏高原被称为世界第三极，是我国科研人员参与极地与高山地区科研的主要场所及训练基地。为了促进PTS研究领域科学家的沟通与交流，展示我国科学家在极地及高山地区PTS研究上取得成就，同时也让身处西藏高原地区的青年科学工作者在内的国内青年学者了解和分享PTS研究的前沿成果，在国家基金委的大力支持下，由西藏大学牵头，和中国科学院生态环境研究中心联合在西藏大学举办为期5天的“首届极地及高山地区持久性有毒污染物(PTS)学术研讨会”，届时大会将邀请50名左右知名科学家，完成15场左右的学术报告，组织西藏地区相关人员参会1000多人次。

Persistent Toxic Substances (PTS) have become one of major environmental problems recently. These kinds of pollutants are not only causing environmental problems in intensive human active areas, however, they are also found in remote areas such as plateau, polar regions. Although PTS have already become a global problem, their long range transport mechanism was not clear yet. The research on PTS in polar and plateau area is an emerging subject in China, but it is well developed especially in recent 5 years. New remarkable research findings and achievements have been reported by Chinese scientists. The Tibet Plateau is named the Third Polar for its height and polar resembled climate, which is an ideal place to be used as a studying and training place for researchers and young scientists who focus on polar and plateau area.. “The 1st symposium of persistent toxic substances (PTS) in polar and plateau region” is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and held by the Tibet University and Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences (RCEES, CAS). The meeting aims to promote the communication between related scientists working on PTS in polar and plateau region, offer opportunities to show scientific achievements on their research areas and also to learn and share frontier research domains for the young scientists especially those who work in Tibet. During the 5 days, about 50 famous scientists will give 15 academic reports and 1000 delegates from the Tibet will join in the symposium.
