CREEC |
 |
The Consortium for Research and Education on Emerging Contaminants (CREEC) is a grass-roots community of world-class scientists and stakeholders from the Central Rocky Mountain region with a shared interest in the source, fate, and physiological effects of contaminants of emerging concern. CREEC consists not only of scientists at the local, University, State, and Federal level, but also has active participation from regional stakeholders including regulators, policy makers, public health workers, drinking water providers, wastewater-treatment providers, and concerned citizens. Together CREEC has broad expertise in hydrology, aquatic biology, environmental geochemistry, analytical chemistry, wastewater- and drinking-water treatment technology, wildlife toxicology, environmental policy and regulation, public education and outreach, and water system engineering. These groups and individuals have indicated their willingness to learn more about EC-related issues and how ECs may be impacting their communities. In fact, many of these scientists and stakeholders are at the forefront of EC research and education in the United States. CREEC is a non-profit 501 (c)(3), currently managed through an executive committee, elected by CREEC members, which is supported by a program committee comprised of voluntary members.
