Clemson Environmental Health and Safety
All students and visitors who work in my lab must go through following safety trainings in Chemical Hygiene, Chemical Fume Hoods, Hazardous Waste Management, and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Chemical Hygiene training comes with a quiz at the end. You will need pass, and then report the training completion at the end. Hazardous Waste Management has no quiz, but you will need to report the training completion at the end session.

PROFESSIONAL SOCIETIES:
The American Chemical Society (https://www.acs.org/)
The American Chemical Society (ACS) is the world’s largest scientific society and one of the world’s leading sources of authoritative scientific information. A nonprofit organization, chartered by Congress, ACS is at the forefront of the evolving worldwide chemical enterprise and the premier professional home for chemists, chemical engineers and related professions around the globe. The Society publishes numerous scientific journals (e.g., Environmental Science and Technology and Langmuir) and databases, convenes major research conferences and provides educational, science policy and career programs in chemistry. Our research group generally participates in division of geochemistry (http://membership.acs.org/g/geoc/)

The Soil Science Society of America (https://www.soils.org/)
The Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) is a progressive international scientific society that fosters the transfer of knowledge and practices to sustain global soils. Based in Madison, WI, and founded in 1936, SSSA is the professional home for 6,000+ members dedicated to advancing the field of soil science. It provides information about soils in relation to crop production, environmental quality, ecosystem sustainability, bioremediation, waste management, recycling, and wise land use. Our research group generally participates in Division S02 - Soil Chemistry and Division S11 - Soils & Environmental Quality.

The Clay Mineral Society (http://www.clays.org/)
The Clay Mineral Society is an international organization devoted to the study of clays and clay minerals. We encourage exchange of research findings through the publication of Clays and Clay Minerals, sponsorship of an annual meeting, online access to the archived journals, special publications, the Source Clays Repository, and other network building activities. Members belong to AIPEA (Association Internationale pour l'Etude des Argiles), have access to our journal through GSW (GeoScienceWorld), an internet research resource, and receive Elements, a magazine featuring topics of broad general interest to mineralogists.

The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (http://www.setac.org/)
The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) is a not-for-profit, worldwide professional organization comprised of individuals and institutions dedicated to the study, analysis and solution of environmental problems, the management and regulation of natural resources, research and development and environmental education. Their mission is to support the development of principles and practices for protection, enhancement and management of sustainable environmental quality and ecosystem integrity.

The Geochemical Society (http://www.geochemsoc.org/)
The Geochemical Society is a nonprofit scientific society founded to encourage the application of chemistry to the solution of geological and cosmological problems. Membership is international and diverse in background, encompassing such fields as organic geochemistry, high and low-temperature geochemistry, petrology, meteoritics, fluid-rock interaction, and isotope geochemistry. The Geochemical Society is affiliated with the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the International Union of Geological Sciences, the Council of Scientific Society Presidents and is an allied society of the Geological Society of America

The Geological Society of America (http://www.geosociety.org/)
The Geological Society of America was established in 1888. The society provides access to elements that are essential to the professional growth of earth scientists at all levels of expertise and from all sectors: academic, government, business, and industry. The Geological Society's growing membership unites thousands of earth scientists from every corner of the globe in a common purpose to study the mysteries of our planet and share scientific findings.

International Humic Substances Society (http://ihss.gatech.edu/ihss2/index.html)
The International Humic Substances Society (IHSS) was founded in 1981 to bring together scientists in the coal, soil, and water sciences with interests in humic substances. IHSS has a membership of nearly 900 scientists. The Society is recognized as a world leader in fostering scientific education and research, and promoting public understanding of humic substances. The aims of the society include the collection of standard samples of humic and fulvic acids from lignite, fresh water, a mineral soil, and an organic soil, and the assembling of characterization data. In addition, the Society has added reference samples that are a source of humic materials for research. The IHSS convenes biennial international conferences, which bring together scientists from the soil, coal, freshwater, and marine sciences. These conferences are convened by leading scientists in collaboration with the IHSS Board.
