The International Symposium on Persistent Toxic Substances and Health (ISPTS) is the premier event for scientists and experts to discuss the latest research progress and developments in the areas of persistent and emerging contaminants. Previous ISPTS, held since 2004, have been hosted and organized by prominent academic institutions around the world. The ISPTS Organising Committee has postponed the conference three times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, ISPTS 2020 became first ISPTS 2020&2021 then ISPTS 2024, and now ISPTS 2025! ISPTS 2024 was held in Greece in September 2024. The 19th International Symposium on Persistent Toxic Substances and Health (ISPTS-2025) will be held in Seoul, Korea and is organized by Korea University.
