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 each seminar topic, we have selected the highest-quality offering for placement in our archives. Beginning in May 2005, we began offering these archives via podcast, and this feed contains all seminars archived in the last 6 months. For a complete list of seminars archived since 2000 and videos of selected seminars archived since 2012, please visit http://clu-in.org/live/archive/. Our Rehabilitation Act Notice for reasonable accommodation is available at http://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.

Audio for "NARPM Presents...Utilizations of the U.S. EPA - Environmental Response Team's Mobile Trace Atmospheric Gas Analyzer Laboratories to Address Environment Issues," Aug 30, 2018
The U.S. EPA Environmental Response Team's (ERT) Trace Atmospheric Gas Analyzer (TAGA) mobile laboratories have been utilized for numerous and varied monitoring and analysis operations. Over the years, the TAGA laboratories have been employed at traditional emergency responses, including chemical plant explosions, train derailments, pipeline breaks, oil spills, floods, hurricanes, etc., as well as terrorist events involving the World Trade Center attack and the weaponized anthrax assaults of the United States Hart Senate Office Building, United State Post Offices, and the American Media Incorporated Building. Additionally, the TAGA laboratories have been used to perform ambient air monitoring in highly industrial areas of Texas and Louisiana as part of the US EPA's Urban Air Toxic Program. Moreover, the TAGA labs have been implemented to investigate vapor intrusion at over 100 Superfund sites across the country involving hundreds of buildings using the instrumentation to provide analytical results for soil gas, sub-slab vapor, indoor air, and ambient air matrices. Furthermore, the laboratories have been involved in research and development operations for chemical warfare agents' detection and remediation effectiveness of materials, as well as, fumigant detection and containment during building remediation of biological agents. The TAGA mobile laboratories are currently comprised of analytical instrumentation, which includes but is not limited to a PE Sciex 365 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (MS/MS) with a low pressure chemical ionization (LPCI) source and an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) source, an Agilent Gas Chromatograph (GC) 7890 and Mass Spectrometer (MS) 5975C with a loop injection system, and an Agilent MicroGC. Additionally, the TAGA laboratories are equipped with a global positioning system (GPS) and a geographic information system (GIS). The stated equipment was incorporated to perform the above analytical services.
