Waterborne expert, Chris Holmes, is attending this workshop in advance of SETAC EU which will cover topics across many markets including agriculture, biocides, home & personal care, pharmaceuticals, general and specialty chemicals.

The Chesapeake and Potomac Regional Chapter (CPRC) of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) is a regional chapter of SETAC-North America (NA). Serving the Chesapeake-Potomac Region (Maryland, DC, Virginia, and West Virginia), our chapter provides a professional forum for individuals from private industry, academia, and government agencies who are engaged in the study and analysis and solutions for environmental problems, management and regulation of natural resources, and/or research and development. Waterborne GIS expert, Raghu Vamshi, attended the annual conference to contribute to the SETAC CPRC efforts.

Waterborne experts Matt Kern, Nathan Snyder and Marty Williams will be representing Waterborne at the CropLife America (CLA) and Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment (RISE) Conference.  The theme of the Spring 2017 conference is “Partnering for Progress” and features topics including: the latest developments in risk assessment under the Endangered Species Act; drinking water modeling and monitoring; and pollinator health.  This conference brings together experts from across regulatory agencies, academia, the scientific community and industry.

Approximately 6,500 toxicologists from more than 50 countries are expected to share their research and expertise during the 160+ Scientific Sessions at the 2017 55th Annual SOT Conference & Expo this year. The conference is expecting nearly 2,500 abstracts to be presented.

Waterborne Toxicologist, Nikki Maples-Reynolds, will be attending and sharing some of our work on microplastics in a presentation called: A Framework for Dynamic Estimation of Environmental Concentrations of Microplastics in WWTP Effluents and Receiving Waters at a National Scale. In this presentation she will be discussing how down-the-drain exposure models provide a valuable screening-level tool for estimating environmental exposure to consumer care product ingredients which are treated and discharged at municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). For more on this topic make sure to visit her presentation during SOT!

The ILSI Research Foundation, together with Monsanto Company, Soil Health Partnership, Washington University in St. Louis, Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research, Howard G. Buffett Foundation and the United States Department of Agriculture, are organizing a two-day workshop in October focusing on developing research targets for supporting agricultural goals that: support achievement of USDA’s “building blocks” for climate smart agriculture; integrate existing US Midwest field research networks for climate adaptation; and develop a research agenda to achieve a “carbon-neutral” agri-food system in the US through a focus on soil carbon and soil health, including validation of soil carbon protocols.

Waterborne’s Agricultural Engineer, Julie Honegger, will be representing Waterborne at CQuest. To set-up a meeting with Julie, email Casey Wisch at wischc@waterborne-env.com.
