My co-chairs (Will Backe, Amanda Brennan, and Amber White) and I are super excited to invite abstract submissions by 15 May to our session on “Methods for Assessing Environmental Fate and Effects of Difficult-To-Test Substances” at the #SETAC meeting in Fort Worth, TX on October 20-24.
Track and Session Description Below
Track: 4 - Chemistry and Exposure Assessment
Session Description: Difficult-to-test substances may be volatile, reactive/unstable, or poorly/sparingly water-soluble substances, UVCBs (unknown or variable composition, complex reaction products or biological materials), surfactants, polymers, substance with unknown metabolites, or particles. The challenges in the determination of the environmental fate and effects of difficult-to-test substances may manifest in different ways: maintaining constant nominal exposure concentrations for assays, overcoming bioavailability limitations, extracting and quantifying analytes in complex environmental and biological matrices (difficult-to-measure), identifying unknown constituents or metabolites, differentiating toxicity from parent versus degradation products, etc. In this session, presenters are invited to share advancements in methodologies for conducting toxicity and environmental fate studies, analytical techniques for detection and characterization, and/or a framework/approach for assessing the environmental fate and effects for any type of the difficult-to-test substances.
Everything is bigger in Texas. So join us in making the SETAC North America 45th Annual Meeting the biggest and best yet! Submit an abstract by 15 May, so that together, we can make a vast and uplifting impact for our environment. https://lnkd.in/e6xcA6YT
