THE INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF ENVIRONMENTAL FORENSICS
The International Network of Environmental Forensics (INEF) was founded in 2008 to provide a forum for scientists, environmental consultants, regulators and lawyers to share information regarding the use of environmental forensics. Environmental forensics is the use of scientific techniques to identify and apportion the source(s), age and timing of a contaminant into the environment. INEF is a non-profit, interest group within the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC).

The first INEF conference was held in Calgary in 2009, and has since provided a venue for sharing ideas and research relating to the field of environmental forensics. The INEF 2015 conference marked the fifth meeting and was held August 3rd to 6th in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The conference was a combination of plenary presentations, short courses, and oral and poster presentation technical sessions. The theme of the conference was ‘Emerging Trends and New Technologies’ and the conference provided an opportunity for people of all experiences to learn from environmental forensic experts practicing and/or studying in this field.
