If you plan to attend the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) 44th annual North America Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky this November, look out for the following sessions proposed by some of our members:
Title: Advances to address challenges in Non-targeted Analysis for Environmental Risk Assessment
Chairs: Natalia Quinete, Juliane Brown, Ruth Marfil-Vega and Gabby Black.
The topics in this session will include studies aimed at improving the reliability, reproducibility, and understandability of NTA methods and results through the application of NTA for the identification of organic contaminants in various environmental sample types (soil, water, air, etc.); fate and transport studies; pollution source identification; efficacy evaluation of environmental remediation efforts by NTA; development of NTA methods, workflows, and tools for ERA; quantitative NTA (qNTA), and uses of NTA for risk assessment of “unknown” compounds.
