Welcome to Our Midwest Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Organization

​​​​Who Are We?

The Midwest Chapter is a regional chapter of SETAC North America and consists of volunteers dedicated to improving our network of scientists, regulators, and educators. With an annual meeting and short-course, we are hoping to meet our other scientists in the region and potential collaborators, become familiar with advances in many environmental fields and provide opportunities along with financial support to students to present their work at our meeting and meet new mentors.  We have members and attendees that develop workshops and timely discussions of topics of both regional and national interest. We:

• Promote research, education, training and development of the environmental sciences.
• Encourage interactions among environmental scientists and disseminate information on environmental toxicology and chemistry.
  
• Sponsor scientific and educations programs and provide a forum for communication among professionals in government, business, academia and other segments of the environmental
