Dear colleague,

With this e-mail we would like to draw your attention to a session on 
*/polar ecotoxicology, risk assessment and monitoring /*at the 19^th 
SETAC Europe Annual Meeting to be held in Göteborg, Sweden (31 May - 4 
June 2009). The aim of this session is to present new tools linking the 
fate and effect of contaminants in the Arctic (from chemical fate via 
exposure to effects on species and communities) and how this information 
can be used in environmental risk assessments and the design of 
environmental monitoring programs of polar regions (see complete session 
abstract below).

 

We would like to encourage you to submit a paper for this session. The 
_deadline for abstract submission is 30 November 2008_. We enclosed the 
conference flyer with details. The session will only be part of the 
final programme if the number of contributions is sufficient.

 

All abstracts MUST be submitted via the online abstract submission page, 
which can be reached via http://goteborg.setac.eu/abstracts/. Note that 
people submitting an abstract for a platform presentation, will be asked 
to submit an extended abstract of 2 pages.

 

As session chairs we would be very grateful if you send in a paper, 
however, we cannot guarantee the acceptance of a presentation. 
Additionally, SETAC never grants free registrations to presenters. All 
presenters MUST REGISTER for the meeting and pay the applicable 
REGISTRATION FEES

 

Best wishes,

 

Mathijs Smit, Rainer Lohmann, Lionel Camus and Amy Merten

 

Session:           D04

Title:                 Polar marine ecotoxicology, risk assessment and 
monitoring

Intensified shipping and oil and gas activities are examples of 
potential threats to the arctic. Long range transport of contaminants 
and climate change are already threatening arctic environments. As 
arctic environments are considered to be sensitive to physical-chemical 
stress there is a need for sound ecological management of these areas. 
However, to date it is not clear whether species within the arctic are 
more sensitive than non-arctic species. In polar environments there is 
also limited functional redundancy due to shorter food chains. As a 
result ecosystem function might not be protected when ecosystem 
structure is preserved. Risk assessments focussing on the preservation 
of the most sensitive species might not be valid. Environmental managers 
are interested whether they can use temperate criteria and guidelines to 
protect polar marine organisms from contaminants. Knowledge on the 
sensitivity of arctic species and communities is however limited. 
A special challange is presented by oil spills in cold climates, such as 
arctic, as the oil can be rapidly frozen into the ice sheet. The oil 
will be to some extent preserved, in the sense that evaporation, 
dissolution, and degradation are expected to be reduced. Estimates of 
the pathways, release rates, and chemical characteristics of the 
remaining oil will provide the basis for environmental exposure 
assessments. Finally, the harsh conditions in arctic environments 
combined with seasonal variability require dedicated tools for 
environmental monitoring.

 The aim of this session is to present new tools linking the fate and 
effect of contaminants in the Arctic (from chemical fate via exposure to 
effects on species and communities) and how this information can be used 
in environmental risk assessments and the design of environmental 
monitoring programs of polar regions.
