Environmental contaminants ignore boundaries and ecosystem limits. Under the general theme Environmental contaminants from land to sea: continuities and interface in environmental toxicology and chemistry, experts from academia, government and industry will share the most recent advanced knowledge in environmental sciences in order to improve chemical risk assessment and support current and future policies. Among the keynotes approached, Plastic waste in the aquatic environments, Fate and effect of cosmetics and personal care products - Regulatory perspectives, and Climate change and environmental contamination by chemicals: do they combine to modulate ecological and health effects? will put frames of debates of international interests.

The scientific
programme consists of 104 sessions amongst 10 main tracks. Have a look at the
session descriptions prior to abstract submission:
Note about special sessions
Considerable time will be allocated to special sessions, which will
traditionally focus on (i) topics of very high societal and timely concern, (ii)
specific environmental cases in France as hosting country, (iii) topics beyond
the core business of SETAC and how the Society can build bridges with other
fields of expertise, as well as (iv) long range planning of SETAC Europe as a
scientific association. Platform presentations in special sessions are only
upon invitation by the session chairs; abstracts for poster presentations are
welcome and need to be submitted following the standard guidelines.
One of the sessions will be dedicated to 'Analytical, environmental and toxicological aspects of technology critical elements'. This sesión is part of one of the main tracks of the meeting: Emerging contaminants: fate, effects and environmental risks
Technology critical elements (TCEs) includes Ga, Ge, In, Te, Nb, Ta, Tl, the Pt group elements and most of the rare earth elements. These elements are now essential components in a variety of applications ranging from information and telecommunication technology, semiconductors, electronic displays and optic/photonic to 'green energy' related technologies. Recently, a new EU COST action (COST Action TD1407) focused on the study of TCEs was launched. This action will create a network of scientists working and interested on TCEs, from an environmental perspective to potential human health threats.
