Welcome address
from the Symposium Chair
Dear colleagues and friends,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, Scientific
Committee and the International Advisory
Board, it is with great pleasure that I welcome
you to Madrid, Spain, for the 34th International
Symposium on Halogenated Persistent Organic
Pollutants -Dioxin 2014-. Dioxin 2014 will
continue in the tradition of previous symposia
as the leading international conference for
scientists, regulators and exhibitors presenting
recent advances in all areas of Halogenated
Persistent Organic Pollutants.
We are very fortunate to have received more
than 650 short papers from 41 countries that
will be presented at this meeting. Less than
half of the papers have been scheduled for oral
presentations in five concurrent sessions and
the rest have been scheduled in three poster
sessions. A high quality scientific program has
been prepared combining both traditional
topics and emerging issues; covering the seven
main topics of the symposium and 10 special
sessions. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Stockholm Convention on POPs. To commemorate
this milestone, we have organized a special session to highlight POP research conducted in support of
the Global Monitoring Plan, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the Convention.
As in previous symposia, the scientific program will be complemented with exhibitors and vendor
seminars, presenting their latest advances in the field of Halogenated Persistent Organic Pollutants.
We are extremely grateful to all sponsors, exhibitors and scientific partners for their generous support
of the meeting, which is crucial to its success.
The theme for Dioxin 2014 is “Our students, our future”. In this spirit, we were able to give the
opportunity to participate to many students; and we are very pleased to organize a special student
activity “Science with tapas” on Sunday, August 31st. We have also planned students to participate
during the symposium highlights on Friday September 5th. A few selected students from each scientific
topic will present their highlights of the symposium. It is very inspiring to hear how they feel and what
they will tell us about the future in POP research. We hope these activities will give them additional
opportunities to network with scientist from around the world, in keeping with the international spirit
of Dioxin Symposia.

34th International Symposium on Halogenated Persistent Organic Pollutants
This year, we are gathering in Madrid, a cosmopolitan city with a rich cultural and artistic heritage. If
there is one thing that characterizes Madrid, is its contagious passion for life, reflected in its friendly
and welcoming people. The success of Dioxin 2014 will be enhanced by the special atmosphere of our
city’s social life; which is an essential element in generating synergies for scientific collaboration and
friendship. We wish all the participants to have an enriching and positive memory of Spain.
Last but not least, an exciting social program awaits all delegates. All participants are invited to
an informal reception on Sunday at the official venue of the Dioxin 2014, and the official welcome
reception on Monday which will be held at the Cecilio Rodriguez Gardens, one of the more popular
green spaces in the city of Madrid. We are sure that Dioxin 2014 will provide a great opportunity for all
the delegates from all over the world in exchanging new ideas and to establish future collaboration.

once belonged to aristocratically families; wide well designed
avenues, ornamental fountains, green parks, famous soccer
stadiums, interesting Museums, impressive buildings,
attractive residential neighborhoods, where the upscale
shops rule the most exclusive shopping, even a Moorish
style bullring. Let´s discover it all by bus (stopping whenever
possible for pictures) and later on, walking down the Royal
Palace and the Cathedral, enjoying the old atmosphere of
back in the 16th century, when Madrid became Capital of the
Spanish Empire admiring the labyrinthine structure of the
medieval streets and cosy little squares till reaching finally

will admire the real “musts”, those paintings that cannot be
missed: The “pearls” of the primitive Flemish painters Van
der Weyden and El Bosco, the Italian Fran Angelico and the
German master Durero and later without forgetting the

Due to its location, at the top of a rocky hill, over the Tagus
river as natural protector and being a wall city, lets enjoy
first of all its fantastical view from an exclusive point, the
same one that has captivated the sensible artist souls: The
painter Greco, poets from all times, writers and so on. After
some minutes spent there taking the best pictures, we will
drive inside walls and from the bus-parking place, walking and
exploring the old structure of its medieval tiny narrow streets,
deambulating and getting the real spirit of Toledo.
The visit of the famous spiritual capital of Spain, the Cathedral
(a real Museum inside there) and the Church where is kept one
of Greco’s masterpieces will give us the satisfaction of having
been in contact with the old essence of a former imperial
capital.
In less than 40 minutes driving time, the city of Alcalá (quite
relevant spot under the Roman and later Moorish domination)
offers to the visitor its real cultural imprint based actually in
the old University. After visiting it, a nice stroll down by the
typical streets till reaching the main square and from there,
heading to Cervantes house, a living example of how a private
home still shows the atmosphere of back in times of the
famous writer, birth house of the author of the “Man of la
Mancha”. Some free time to taste the well-known “Tapas” and
take pictures of the city.

In a real authentic former private Palace built following Sorolla
recommendations to be the family house, we can get into the
romantic painter´s world, not only thanks to his paintings
decorating the whole 2 floors construction, but also because
of his presence at every corner still can be felt...
The painter of the Mediterranean light, the portraits of his
family, unique, special and skilful way of introducing his
geniality direct to our eyes is really shocking.
After so much art lived and before leaving, relaxing at the cosy
garden and a visit to the former painter ceramic and pottery
collection.
A Retiro Park experience
Once upon a time Madrid had a deep wood outside walls
where just wild bears were living in. Nowadays, a piece of it
has turned into a delightful green Park in the pure centre of
the city.
It is really an experience to be in contact with nature being
rounded by asphalt, then why not crossing a good part of
this nice Park where a bunch of trees, flower decorations and
bushes will orientate us till the gorgeous and elegant pond
and from there towards the fine and transparent Cristal
Palace, today a place for temporary contemporary exhibition
which belongs to the Reina Sofía Art Museum.
Occupying a Neo-Classical mansion from 1806, many critics
see this museum as the world’s most important private art
collection. Assembled by Baron Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza
and his son Hans Heinrich, it illustrates the history of Western
art from the primitive Flemish and Italian painters, to 20th
century Pop Art.
The Spanish state bought it in 1993, and today this museum is
a strong complement to the Prado and Reina Sofia museums,
adding 20th century international artists to the Spanish ones
you may have already seen at Reina Sofia. With this museum,
you can truly appreciate the entire evolution of the history
of art without leaving Madrid. After our visit to the Thyssen
museum, we start with our shopping tour. In Madrid you
can find almost anything. People come to this city in search
of most specific, sophisticated or eccentric. The variety is a
feature of the trade: From luxury shops in the Salamanca
district, to the most alternative clothing in Fuencarral Street.
The Salamanca distric and its famous Milla de Oro now
looks brighter after refurbishment of Serrano street. Wider
pavements to look in detail the showcases of national and
international luxury brands. Take a walk and fall into the
temptation to buy something exclusive.

Segovia
September 4th
(21% VAT excluded)
aprox. 7 hours
Official Guides
After an hour and a half driving time by bus and crossing the
mountains of Guadarrama Sierra (natural border between
the Madrid-Segovia provinces) we will reach the old roman
site of Segovia, former capital of the ancient kingdom of
Castile (Castle land), when over 500 hundred years ago, queen
Isabella was crowned.
Shepherds land, the cradle of the pure virgin wool, cereals,
grain and good sausage plus suckling pig as main economic
resources, a part of the imposing monuments complete an
amazing cultural offer that cannot be missed We will admire
the impressive Aqueduct, a magic engineering work still
standing as a relic of the roman past after more than 2,000
years and from there, exploring the city on foot, following
the main street till reaching the Main square, where the city
Hall, the Theatre and the Cathedral are witness of the glorious
past..
Some free time to enjoy a coffee or maybe some typical
pastries before walking down hill till the former Moorish
castle which later, under the Castilian kings, turned into a
castle, housing the crowned heads of the dynasty that queen
Isabella was belonging to.
After the visit and great pictures, time to walk back to the bus,
but now, following the old wall, an alternative route before
coming back to Madrid
