Background:
"Fingerprinting" unlocks the mystery of contaminant source identification, age-dating and allocation.
Laboratory and field advances are redefining environmental forensics for a spectrum of contaminants (e.g., crude oil & distillates, chlorinated solvents, metals, PCBs, PAHs, perchlorate, nutrients).
These advances are capable of revealing multiple releases in common chemistry conditions. Emerging technologies are being used today for more applications, with more certainty and more financial assurances. Technology has progresses since the times we could simply differentiate old contamination from newer releases.
Legal arguments are part of environmental forensics as much as technology. Defending or arguing against a fingerprinting process contains hidden challenges that are known to attorneys and expert witnesses. Don't be ill-prepared for a fingerprinting project that will be scrutinized by others.
Emerging technologies are being used today for more applications, with more certainty and more financial assurances.
Learn how environmental forensics are reaping financial benefits by improved remediation accuracy. Fingerprinting advances are becoming less expensive with more applications and purpose. An investment in fingerprinting contaminants is a key element for remediation system design because it confirms certainty, purpose, and success metrics.
This online course features exercises of common scenarios that teach the principles of environmental forensics. Starting with exercises about reconstructing past contamination events and continuing with recognizing defensible evidence that withstands legal scrutiny.
This online course will help environmental professionals at every level, including environmental consultants, regulators, industrial site owners and operators (e.g., manufacturers, mining companies, foundry operators, refineries, dry cleaners), insurance agency employees, environmental lawyers, and governmental employees.
Emerging laboratory techniques are redefining environmental forensics.
