Welcome to the BFR Symposium to be integrated with Dioxin 2026

Join us in Riva del Garda, Italy, from 13–18 September 2026 for a truly unique event. For the first time, the Dioxin Symposium series and the Flame Retardants Symposium (BFR) are coming together for a joint edition, creating an exceptional platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange.

This combined meeting will address global challenges related to persistent organic pollutants (POPs), flame retardants, and emerging contaminants such as PFAS and micro/nanoplastics. Expect cutting-edge science on analytical methods, emissions, fate, degradation, toxicology, and regulatory frameworks.

With up to 800 delegates, more than 400 abstracts, and an exhibition featuring leading instrumentation and research organisations, this five-day event promises to be a milestone for our community. Surrounded by the stunning scenery of Lake Garda, you’ll enjoy not only world-class science but also cultural and gastronomic experiences that make this symposium truly memorable.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with experts from both communities and shape the future of environmental and health science.
