When it comes to persistent pollutants, the first question isn’thow tomeasure them, butrather what to measure, where, how often, and with what level of confidence.The PUI Lille is offering a one-hour webinar to bring together two complementary approaches—field measurement and laboratory analysis—and shed light on how they complement rather than conflict with one another.

Scientific, industrial, and regulatory challenges related to persistent pollutants: growing pressure on economic stakeholders, the diversity of substances, and the need for reliable diagnostics and decision-making under real-world conditions.
With Sébastien Lagoutte—head of cooperation for the Chemistry and Materials Sector within theCNRS’s Directorate of Corporate Relations (DRE).

Measuring, interpreting, validating: what to measure, how to interpret the results, what limitations exist depending on the matrices, and how to build robust and actionable evidence.
With Gabriel Billon—professor and co-director of theLASIRE research unit.
