Purpose of the organization
The
International Association of Environmental
Analytical Chemistry (IAEAC) supports a regular exchange of
scientific information between experts in the areas of analytical chemistry,
ecotoxicology, environmental chemistry, risk assessment and
related areas. It seeks to inform its members of recent advances, new
technology, and current data in the field and to increase awarness among
analytical chemists of environmental issues. It takes action in response to
relevant environmental problems and on questions regarding environmental
protection and control.
In order to achieve this goal it organizes symposia,
workshops and short courses on new technology and data, on special topics and
problem areas and on specific environmental pollutants.
It publishes
proceedings and newsletters and uses other means ( i.e. public media ) to
transmit knowledge and to take issue on environmental topics of high current
interest.
Activities
The activities of IAEAC, formally established as an association February 1st, 1977 , date back to 1971 with the oganization of the First Annual Symposium on Environmental Analytical Chemistry, ( formerly named "Annual Symposium on the Analytical Chemistry of Pollutants" ) held in Halifax, Canada, chaired by the late first president and founder of the association Prof. Dr. Roland W. Frei.
Since then different series of symposia, workshops and short courses and additional symposia and workshops on selected topics have been organized by our association.
