Course Description: This course provides participants with the latest science and technology necessary to effectively assess, manage, and remediate sites contaminated with metals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The course begins with an overview of metal and VOC partitioning and transport, followed by an update on high-resolution site characterization technologies and approaches. The training concludes with an overview of metal and VOC attenuation in soil and groundwater emphasizing the latest science and models.
