11th IUPAC International Congress of Pesticide Chemistry

Warren Tully, Senior Advisor (Chemicals), attended the 11th International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) Congress in Kobe, Japan, from August 6 - 11.

‘Evolution for Crop Protection, Public Health and Environmental Safety’ was the focus of the Congress. Kobe City provided an excellent venue for the presentations. The scientific programme gave an overview of agriculture, agrochemicals, and environmental health issues of the near future from different points of view (i.e. academia, industries, and regulatory agencies). There were many opportunities to exchange information and technology on chemistry, biology, biotechnology, toxicology, and environmental science on agrochemicals as well as its related novel technology among the scientists.
