UKCEH scientists will take part in the 35th Annual Meeting of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Europe, the most important European meeting for research in the field of chemical pollution and its sources, fate and effects. This year's meeting is in Vienna from 11-15 May...
The scientific programme of SETAC Europe 2025 has the overarching theme of 'Innovation for Tomorrow: Progress in Safe and Sustainable Concepts'. This is an opportunity to exchange, discover and discuss the latest research and solutions that contribute to understanding, predicting and managing the impacts of chemicals in the environment.
This year, UKCEH scientists are presenting several talks and posters and chairing sessions on topics including microplastics monitoring, environmental risk, chemical mixtures, exposure models and impact assessments now and in the future.
