A summit to clean up industry
Leading international scientists will join top Australian industry executives in a national summit, for three days commencing on 24 June, to discuss how to clean up and prevent future contamination.
The summit, titled Contamination Clean-up 07, will be held at the Hilton Hotel in Adelaide and will combine the third International Contaminated Sites conference with the first Australian Industry Contamination summit.
