The objective of this symposium is to provide a forum for the interactions of environmental chemists and mineralogists, environmental microbiologists, ecologists, toxicologists and soil scientists to address the current state-of-the-art and identify gaps in knowledge on physicochemical and biological interfacial interactions at the molecular level at the soil-root interface (the rhizosphere) pertaining to the dynamics, transformations, bioavailability, and toxicity of metals, metalloids, anthropogenic organics, and vital elements.

This activity should lead to the advancement of frontiers of knowledge on environmental chemistry on soil interfacial reactions in the rhizosphere and the subsequent development of innovative management strategies to sustain environmental quality, ensure food security and safety, and ecosystem health on a global scale.
