ABOUT NAC/SETAC
NAC/SETAC is a regional chapter of
SETAC (Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry),
encompassing the North Atlantic region from New England (Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, & Rhode Island) into the Canadian Provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island,
and Newfoundland and Labrador. Our
membership is diverse, comprising people from industry, academia and government.
To reflect this geographic and interest diversity, our annual meeting site
rotates each year with the plenary session addressing issues pertinent to the
locale.
NAC/SETAC is a very active
chapter, sponsoring short courses, hosting networking events, and a range of
other activities. Annual meeting locations are scheduled in both centralized and
less centralized locations in order to best service and expand Chapter
membership.
