SGS AXYS will be featuring our work on PFAS, neonicotinoids, bisphenols, metabolomics and more at the SETAC North America 40th Annual Meeting, November 3-7 in Toronto. As a world leading specialist in the measurement of persistent organic pollutants, emerging contaminants and endogenous metabolites, SGS AXYS contributes to the SETAC body of knowledge this year with four first-author presentations/posters and five co-author contributions. This is in addition to many other presentations from clients and collaborator data users at the conference.
SETAC North America is the premier conference on the occurrence, fate and ecotoxicology of contaminants. See the list below for a schedule of presentations and posters, and visit us at SGS AXYS, Booth # 101, 200 to learn all about our comprehensive services. We will be joined by SGS colleagues from our Ontario labs which offer a wide range of conventional environmental testing.
