I am very pleased to state that the JICA training course “Risk Assessment and Monitoring for Environmental Chemicals” have successfully completed.

I think this class (6 participants from 5 countries) was the best one in the past 9 years.

All of 6 participants have done the great contribution.

Congratulations!.

The environmental chemical sources from Industrial activity and our daily life.

The risk assessment and monitoring are mutual concerns between developing and developed countries、

So, JICA training course is important for international collaboration.
