Don’t miss submitting your abstract by June 4 (Friday this week!) for the SETAC North America 31st Annual Meeting from 7-11 November 2010 in Portland Oregon.
Due to popular demand and unfortunate scheduling relative to a long US holiday weekend, the deadline for LCA X abstracts has been extended from Tuesday 1 June to Friday 4 June.
The conference website is at: http://lcacenter.org/LCAX/
There are some really excellent special session proposals in process. Many of them are aimed at the policy theme of the conference, but others will address emerging issues such as quality validation, carbon footprinting and EPDs.
The rest of the conference will be determined by your abstracts. As always, your new ideas for research and implementation is what make this an exciting conference. Please submit abstracts through the account system: http://iere.org/account

LCA X will be held in Portland, Oregon, from 2 to 4 November 2010. The SETAC North America Conference will be in Portland the following week. The ACLCA is planning bridging events between the two conferences. Watch our website for details.

The British Standard Institute’s (BSI’s) Carbon Neutrality conference purpose is for attendees to understand how to become carbon neutral, run a carbon neutral event, or develop carbon neutral products or services. Hear all about the new specification published by British Standards on carbon neutrality and understand how to make immediate improvements in order to reduce your greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
This conference provides an opportunity to hear how organizations from a wide range of industry sectors are tackling carbon neutrality using PAS 2060 (Publicly Available Specification).
Key features and benefits:
This week a short, but highly content rich conference will be held in Arlington, Virginia. The International Symposium on Sustainable Systems & Technology conference sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society features the latest in design, manufacturing,research, marketing, recycling practice, and policy making from worldleaders in industry, academia, and public policy areas.

Impacts from chemicals that are applied or formed and emitted during the life cycle of a product or service still constitute a weak point in LCIA. Compared to other impacts covered in LCA, chemical impacts are associated with large uncertainties and omissions both in the inventory analysis and in the modelling of both indoor and outdoor emissions to impacts on human health and ecosystems.
The graduate school 3R (Residual Resources Research) at the Technical University of Denmark is organising a two-day seminar on toxicity aspects in LCA. The event will include a technical seminar on day 1, and a short course introducing the UNEP-SETAC toxicity model “USEtox” on day 2. The seminar will be given by experts in the field (see below in the programme) and is targeted to any stakeholder concerned with or interested in toxicity LCIA, ranging from Ph.D. students to LCA practitioners, decision-makers, method developers, and experts from related fields.
