The science of nickel from human health and environmental perspectives JAKARTA TIME (WIB): 25 JULY, 2024 - 9.00-10.50AM NEW YORK TIME (EST): 24 JULY, 2024 - 10.00-11.50PM To register: https://lnkd.in/eMw7zk2Q #Indonesia is now the largest source of nickel, producing over 50% of the world’s nickel supply. Due to the rapid pace of growth, the environmental and human health consequences of nickel extraction and refinement in Indonesia are of concern to the global nickel value chain. Mining activities and discharges from nickel operations can lead to exposures to neighboring communities and ecosystems. The spatial breadth and magnitude of impacts associated with these exposures are unclear. NiPERA Inc., the Science Division of the Nickel Institute, has over 40 years of experience in addressing questions like this. In this webinar, we will present the foundational information that decision makers need in order to address concerns about nickel exposures to Indonesian communities and the environment. 📢 share the link with colleagues, business partners or other stakeholders with an interest in the topic. The 2-hour workshop is the third in a series of topical webinars open to all stakeholders interested. The recording of the previous webinars are available on the Nickel Institute YouTube channel.
