Course Reviews (4.7/5):

Overview: This course provides participants with an updated understanding of chlorinated hydrocarbon site management, remediation principles, and proven technologies for soil, vapor, and groundwater. The training begins with a review of biogeochemistry and hydrologic factors that affect remedy selection and performance, followed by a discussion of common presumptive and innovative remedies. The 14-compartment model is used as a conceptual framework for discussing the order-of-magnitude performance of remedies within the various contaminant phases (dissolved, sorbed, vapor, and non-aqueous phase liquids). The course concludes with a case study demonstrating the application of the 14-compartment model to remedy selection and performance assessment. The information presented is applicable to a wide range of chlorinated hydrocarbon contamination including chlorinated benzenes, ethanes, ethenes, and methanes. Remediation of 1,4-dioxane will also be discussed.

Note: This course is followed by the Managing Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Contamination in the Environment training May 9, 2019 at the same location. This class is recommended for those seeking an improved understanding of PFAS (e.g., PFOA and PFOS) chemistry, toxicity, transport, fate, and remediation. You may register for both classes in the series at the same time.
