INTRODUCTION
Accurate water quality data is important in the interpretation of the actual status of an aquatic environment. However, data quality is only as good as the water sample where they are derived from, if good water sampling techniques are utilised. Therefore, good water sampling techniques and on-site water analysis are important to ensure the preservation of the water sample integrity and accuracy of on-site recorded data.
A workshop will be jointly conducted by the Water Research and Analysis Centre (ALIR) of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and the Environment and Green Chemistry Committee of Institut Kimia Malaysia to promote good practice in water sampling and analysis in the field.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE
The aim of this workshop is to provide basic training to inexperienced laboratory personnel on how to perform water sampling and on-site water analyses. The course not only provides basic understanding of water sampling and on-site water analyses through a series of lectures, it also includes hands on training in the technique of water sampling in the field (marine and fresh water) as well as water analyses both in laboratory and during field survey.
PARTICIPANTS
The workshop is open to all participants who have no prior experience but wish to acquire basic knowledge and skills about water sampling and analysis in the field. The number of participant is limited to 20 only.
VENUE
Lectures and laboratory training will be held at the ALIR laboratory and in the School of Chemical Sciences &
Food Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi, Selangor. Field training will be carried out at Pulau Langkawi.
WORKSHOP INSTRUCTOR
The instructors will include the following educators with extensive experience in field related to water analysis.
•Prof. Dr. Md Pauzi Abdullah, PhD (Wales), AMIC, MRSC, C.Chem, ANALIS
•Prof. Dr. Lee Yook Heng, PhD (Cambridge), AMIC, MRSC, C.Chem, ANALIS
•Associate Prof Dr. Jumat Salimon, PhD (Wales), AMIC
REGISTRATION & FEES
The fees for the workshop is RM 850.00 per person, which includes course notes, certificate, meals and packages for travel, accommodation and food during field surveys and training.
