Western University | London, Ontario
June 12-13, 2025
Learn more about the Laurentian SETAC, a regional chapter of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) North America.
We aim to promote and enhance communication, education and networking in environmental toxicology and chemistry, as well as other related fields throughout Ontario, and beyond!
Get involved with one of our many committees! As a non-profit, volunteer-led organization, L-SETAC would not exist without the dedication of many volunteers. We're always looking for folks interested in helping out!
View past proceedings, abstract books, program books, and more!
