15 April - Fourth Seminar on Analysis,
Methodology of Treatment and Remediation of Contaminated Soils
and Groundwater - "INTERSOL 2003",
took place in Paris, from 1 to 3 April 2003, at the invitation
of the Government of France and under the auspices of the
UNECE Team of Specialists on Chemical Industry Sustainable
Economic and Ecological Development. The Seminar was attended
by about 500 scientists, industry managers and administrative
authority decision-makers from ECE region. The discussion
mostly focused on the assessment of risks associated with
contaminated soils and groundwater, land use planning in particular
with regard to polluted sites inside urban zones, and improvements
in remediation technologies. The Seminar also hosted an exhibition
of techniques and services on soil remediation, and a "project
fair", where a series of projects all located in transition
economies of Eastern Europe, was presented. .

25 November - Third Meeting of
the Team of Specialists on CHEMISEED was held in Geneva on
30 October 2002. []
18 February - At its third session held
on 14 and 15 February, the Working Party on Industry and Enterprise
Development (WP.8) accepted the proposal of France that a
seminar on �Analysis, Methodology of Treatment and Remediation
of Contaminated Soils and Ground Water� be organized in Paris
in 2003 with the assistance of this TOS. To implement this
activity, the Working Party extended the mandate of the Team
of Specialists until the fourth session of the Working Party
to be held in 2003
2001
October 3 - The meeting of the Team
of Specialists on CHEMISEED was held on 29 October 2001.
The Team of Specialists on CHEMISEED (CHEMical
Industry Sustainable Economic and Ecological Development)
was created to carry on projects from the former chemical
programmes of UNECE which deal specifically with environmental
aspects. The Team of Specialists reports to the Working Party
on Industry and Enterprise Development (WP.8), which in turn
reports to the Committee for Trade, Industry and Enterprise
Development (CTIED). It is administered by the Trade Division
of the UNECE.
The former "ad hoc Group of Experts on
the Chemical Industry" terminated its activities
after its fourth and final session on 23 March 2001.
The activities within the former chemical programme
included seminars and publications. Please contact
us for more information.
The principal objective of the CHEMISEED Regional
Programme is to assist countries
in transition to remediate chemically polluted sites.
The main element in this area is the "Pilot Project Demonstrating
the Environmental Cleanup of Chemically Polluted Sites".
Assistance is provided in part through personal intervention
of members of the UNECE Task Force of Experts on the Pilot
Project, who can visit these sites on request from Governments
and provide guidance to site owners on the techniques and
budgets needed.
Who we are
Part of the United Nations Economic Commission
for Europe Trade Division. Projects mandated by the Working
Party on Industry and Enterprise Development whose members
come from North America, western, central and eastern Europe
and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The Team
consists of specialists from the whole region and is serviced
by industrial professionals and assistants of the UNECE secretariat.
What we do
- cleanup of chemically polluted sites in central
and eastern Europe
- assist countries in the eastern part of the
region to integrate into the regional chemical industry
Specific projects are decided by the meetings
of the Team of Specialists.
