TRACKING CHLORINATED SOLVENTS:
Practical Techniques for Evaluating Source, Age and Fate & Transport

Litigation and remediation design demand the most accurate methods and technologies for tracking ground water contamination. Discover the most up-to-date methods and technologies available to track the source and age of chlorinated solvent plumes from one of the most recognized experts on this subject.

More than a century of handling chlorinated solvents combined with the lack of environmental awareness (until recent decades) resulted in a contamination legacy that continues to persist and plague our planet. The challenge of this legacy involves both remediation and cost recovery from responsible parties. Environmental forensics is critical to investigate the source and age of contamination and allocate responsibilities.

This webinar presents both a brief review of chlorinated solvents and the latest information on forensic techniques applied to source identification and age dating of chlorinated solvent plumes (including historical document review, chemical fingerprinting, signature chemicals, isotopic fingerprinting, atmospheric tracers and even tree ring fingerprinting). Examples from case studies will be included in order to illustrate the use of various described techniques.

Webinar Highlights:

• Learn updated forensic techniques for source identification and age dating of chlorinated solvent plumes
• Relate your sites to case studies examples

Webinar Benefits:

• Learn to build appropriate forensic strategies
• Gain knowledge on new techniques available to track chlorinated solvent spills
• Learn how to apply updated fingerprinting techniques for source identification and age-dating of chlorinated solvent plumes
• Be better prepared to evaluate fate & transport and design appropriate remediation at sites with chlorinated solvent spills
• Learn to apply the most effective historical information at sites with chlorinated solvent contamination

REGISTER and learn the most up-to-date methods and emerging technologies for tracking chlorinated solvents in the subsurface.

Dr. Ioana G. Petrisor is a Biochemist with over 20 years of experience (both in academia and industry), specializing in environmental forensics and litigation support. She has applied a large variety of forensic techniques to track the source and age-date environmental contaminants. Dr. Petrisor has served as an expert witness in California courts in several cases to testify on fate and transport, as well as sources and age of environmental contamination. She is working as an Environmental Consultant based in San Diego, CA, United States.

Dr. Petrisor is the Editor-in-Chief of the Environmental Forensics Journal. In this capacity, she provides the scientific lead of the journal and is up-to-date with leading-edge research. She has extensive publication experience including 1 invention patent, 6 book chapters, over 70 research and review articles, 12 editorials and 3 technical guidelines. Dr. Petrisor is constantly an invited-speaker at national and international conferences and scientific meetings and regularly presents professional seminars and workshops.

Dr. Petrisor is also an Instructor with AEHS Foundation and EOS Alliance teaching both on-line and in-class environmental forensic courses. She is developing an Environmental Forensics certification program.

Dr. Petrisor has managed and conducted innovative research for U.S. DOE, U.S. DOD and European Community on environmental characterization, as well as the development of innovative remedial technologies for a variety of contaminants in soil, aquatic sediments and water. She designed and conducted successful field applications based on laboratory and pilot scale data.

Dr. Petrisor has a Ph.D. in Biochemistry (Environmental Biotechnology) from the Romanian Academy of Sciences and a Bachelor in Chemistry (Biochemistry major) from the Bucharest University, Romania. Her Ph.D. focused on environmental characterization, assessment and development of innovative remedial biotechnologies for heavy metals from mining operations, in the framework of an E.U. funded project (with research conducted at the Institute of Biology of Romanian Academy and National Technical University of Athens). In 1999, she completed an UNESCO training program in Plant Molecular Genetics at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.
