Since 1998, The Contaminated Site Clean-Up Information (CLU-IN) website has presented Internet Seminars covering a wide variety of technical topics related to hazardous waste characterization, monitoring, and remediation. For select seminar topics offered since 2012, we are making complete video recordings available through our archives. This feed contains all video seminars archived in the last 12 months. For a complete list of seminars archived since 2000, please visit http://www.clu-in.org/live/archive/. Our Rehabilitation Act Notice for reasonable accommodation is available at http://www.clu-in.org/training/accommodation.cfm. CLU-IN was developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) but is intended as a forum for all waste remediation stakeholders.

Nanotechnology for Site Remediation (Nov 2, 2015)
This webinar is a follow-up to the Inaugural Conference on the Applications of Nanotechnology for Safe and Sustainable Environmental Remediations [Nano-4-Rem-aNssERs] which was held in Hammond, Louisiana in the Summer of 2013. In this 2 hour webinar, the expert panel will give an update about the current state of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) workers' exposure scenarios in environmental remediation; an update of the U.S. EPA Superfund sites experience with the use of ENPs; an update on nano-zero-valent iron-based remediation experience in Europe; and an overview of ways to harness "informatics 4 impact" to meet your mission goals. Members of the panel are: Dr. Ephraim Massawe, emassawe@selu.edu, Associate Professor, Southeastern Louisiana University, Hammond, LA. An Overview of the Nano-4-Rem Initiative (10 minutes)Gregory Gervais, Gervais.Gregory@epa.gov, Chief, Technology Assessment Branch, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, D.C. An update on the # of sites that use of ENPs in the U.S. EPA Superfund Sites: implications for the future of ENPs in other federal and other contaminated sites (10 minutes)Ing. Jan Slunský, slunsky@nanoiron.cz Director, NanoIron, s.r.o Czech Republic, EU. Properties, Application and Further Aspects of Zero-Valent Iron Nanoparticles used in Groundwater Remediation (30 minutes)Dr. Chunming Su, su.chunming@epa.gov, Soil Scientist, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Ada, Oklahoma, USA. A Six-Year Field Test of Emulsified Zero-Valent Iron to Treat Source Zone Chlorinated Solvents at a Superfund Site (30 minutes)Dr. Mark D. Hoover, mhoover1@cdc.gov, Senior Research Scientist, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, NIOSH, Morgantown, WV, USA Opportunities to Harness Nanoinformatics for Impact in Environmental Remediation (10 minutes)Dr. Lorraine Day, day@lsu.edu, CAMD/LSU Safety Administrator, Baton Rouge, LA, Use of graphene to remove plutonium and uranium from liquid streams (5 minutes)Dr. Ephraim Massawe, emassawe@selu.edu Associate Professor, Southeastern Louisiana University, Hammond, LA. Wrap-up, Suggestions and Q & A (10 minutes)Who can attend: The webinar is open to interested individuals, and should be of special interest to U.S. EPA Superfund site operators, contractors, workers, EPA scientists, researchers and academicians at various universities and government agencies. Environmental scientists, health practitioners as well industrial hygienists and occupational health professionals will also particularly benefit from this webinar.
