Contaminated Site Clean-Up Information (CLU-IN): Internet Seminar Video Archives

EPA's RE-Powering America's Land Initiative encourages renewable energy development on current and formerly contaminated lands, landfills and mine sites. The Initiative has recently upgraded its Google Earth Mapper and released its electronic decision tree tool to allow stakeholders the ability to identify and explore sites for solar or wind potential. The Mapper uses Google Earth and displays and screens over 80,000 EPA- and state-tracked sites, comprising over 43 million acres...

The U.S. EPA and other organizations encourage use of the ASTM International Standard Guide for Greener Cleanups (E2893-13), which offers a step-wise approach for reducing the environmental footprint of site cleanup activities. This two-hour webinar sponsored by the U.S. EPA will provide participants with an overview of the Standard, show how the Standard can inform project decisions, and describe experiences in using the Standard at sites across the U.S. under state or federal cleanup programs...

This webinar series explores challenges and opportunities for integrating datasets to solve complex environmental health problems. In the third session, speakers include data science experts who are developing tools through NIH-funded grants to establish infrastructure to coordinate data and develop sophisticated approaches to utilize big data to advance our understanding of human health and disease. Susan Teitelbaum, Ph.D...

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...

Join us for the next session in the SRP Risk eLearning webinar series, which explores challenges and opportunities for integrating datasets to solve complex environmental health problems. In the second session, speakers will discuss goals and successes of National Science Foundation (NSF) grants and initiatives related to large, diverse, complex, longitudinal, and/or distributed datasets. Chaitan Baru, Ph.D...

The foundation for creating strong, economically resilient and liveable communities is increasingly built upon a spectrum of place-based activities that develop improved tools and strategies. This workshop is designed to give participants practical tools and share insider views about pioneering community building models...

Chemical contaminants in soil and groundwater can volatilize into soil gas and migrate through unsaturated soils of the vadose zone. Vapor intrusion (VI) occurs when these vapors migrate upward into overlying buildings through cracks and gaps in the building floors, foundations, and utility conduits, and contaminate indoor air. If present at sufficiently high concentrations, these vapors may present a threat to the health and safety of building occupants...
