Carolinas
SETAC Regional Chapter History
The Carolinas regional
chapter of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry
(CSETAC) was incorporated on October 11, 1991 in the state of South
Carolina. The petition to incorporate was initiated by Michael Newman
(Savannah River Ecology Lab, Aiken, SC), Debra Sauer (South Carolina
DHEC, State Park, SC), Richard DiGiulio (Duke University, Durham,
NC), and Ellen Mihaich (Rhone-Poulenc, RTP, NC). The first meeting
was held at the Friday Center in Chapel Hill, NC and was organized
by Ellen Mihaich and Jane Hughes Staveley. In 1993 there were 13
members. Currently (2005), we have 79 members, 36 of which are students.
About
the Chapter:
Carolinas SETAC is a non-profit regional chapter of the international
Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC).
The goals of the chapter are:
• to promote research, education, training, and development
of the environmental sciences, specifically, environmental toxicology
and chemistry, hazard assessment and risk analyses
• to encourage interactions among environmental scientists
and disseminate information on environmental toxicology and chemistry
and its application to the disciplines of hazard and risk assessment.
• to sponsor scientific and educational programs and provide
a forum for communication among professionals in the government,
business, academia, and other segments of the environmental science
community involved in the use, protection, and management of the
environment, and the protection and welfare of the general public.
The chapter is an independently administered entity intended to
meet local needs of SETAC members and chapter members and to promote
the goals of its parent society. Members of Carolinas SETAC come
from a variety of disciplines from the Carolinas and surrounding
states. The chapter encourages student membership and many aspects
of the chapter are geared toward student participation and benefits.
Carolinas SETAC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated
in the state of South Carolina. Professional membership dues and
contributions are tax deductible.
