报告人简介：
Assistant professor Leslie Cizmas is a member of the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health, Texas A&M University. She has authored and co-authored over 50 academic articles dealing with the problems of the occurrence and toxicity of drinking water contaminants, health effects of complex mixtures and chemical exposure assessment in underserved communities. She was selected by the American Chemical Society as an outstanding chemist.
报告简介：
There is an increasing trend to require more efficient use of water resources, both in urban and rural environments. The reuse of water for agricultural irrigation is often viewed as a positive means of recycling water due to the potential large volumes of water that can be used.
However,water quality issues that can create real or perceived problems in agriculture include nutrient and sodium concentrations, heavy metals, and the presence of contaminants such as human and animal pathogens, pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors. Do chemical contaminants pose human health risks?

报告人简介：
Eric Lichtfous is a chemist working on soil carbon sequestration and climate change, using molecular and isotopic techniques (13C,14C). He is teaching scientific communication. He is Chief Editor and founder of Environmental Chemistry Letters, Sustainable Agriculture Reviews and Environmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World. He has also founded the European Association for Chemistry and the Environmental. He is also a triathlete.
报告简介：
English writing, like many other skills, is mastered by both learning and practice. A manuscript written in proper English is the prerequisite for its acceptance for publication; however, the most critical criterion is still the contents of the manuscript, especially the novelty of your research finding. Hoping this report can find its role in helping to improve the English writing skills of young Chinese scientists.

Professor Virender K. Sharma is a member of the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health, Texas A&M University. He has authored and co-authored over 250 academic articles dealing with the problems of Ferrate (VI) technology in sustainable water environment and the toxicity of nanoparticles in aquatic environment, especially for application of Ferrate (VI) technology in water treatment. He was selected by the American Chemical Society as an outstanding chemist.
报告简介：
1. Chemistry and applications of ferrates (VI, V, and IV) (inactivation of virus, bacteria, and toxins in water and air and removal of emerging contaminants such as antibiotics, estrogens and toxic metals in water);
2. Formation, fate, and toxicity of silver and gold engineered and natural nanoparticles in aquatic environment;
3. Applications of ferrites to destroy toxins and pollutants under solar light.
