Dear friends of the 13th Int. HCH & Pesticides Forum and IHPA Newsreaders,

We are happy that we can present the 13th Forum book to all of you. It took us quite a lot of time, but finally we did it again.
You can download it from IHPA website:http://www.ihpa.info/docs/library/forumbooks/13/13thHCHForum_FORUM_BOOK_2015.pdf

Thank you again for your participation, your commitment to make a change and for your efforts to write the all papers and make the information available and for being part of IHPAs activities.

With kind regards
John Vijgen
