TRC Experts Present Innovative Bioremediation Approaches at Battelle Conference<\/h2>\n

For specialists in the field of bioremediation, one of the most exciting opportunities for learning and sharing information is the Battelle Symposium on Bioremediation and Sustainable Environmental Technologies, coming to Miami May 22-25 with more than 500 platform talks, poster presentations, specialized sessions, and panel discussions.<\/p>\n

TRC experts are making several presentations at the Battelle conference about innovative approaches they have developed for implementing and monitoring bioremediation and the use of naturally-occurring or deliberately-introduced micro-organisms to break down environmental pollutants.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at what TRC team members are discussing, with information about times and locations for their presentations during the Battelle conference.<\/p>\n

Fingerprint Evaluation of PFAS Source, Identification of Surface Partitioning, and Associated Remedial Implications<\/h3>\n

TRC Program Manager\u00a0Michael Eberle\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0presentation outlines new considerations that remediation specialists need to take into account when sampling bodies of water for the presence of perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), widely used to make products that repel water, grease, or stains. Based on a forensic evaluation of four areas from which PFAS spread to contaminate a drinking water reservoir in the northeastern United States. Michael\u2019s team identified ways in which the tensioactive properties of PFAS can cause it to form an invisible sheen on the surface of the water, biasing sampling results when extremely high surface concentrations are not representative of the contamination level in most of the body of water. Michael will discuss development of new remedial strategies to account for and take advantage of this \u201cpartitioning\u201d of\u00a0PFAS<\/a>\u00a0in certain water bodies. (Tuesday, May 23, at 9:40 a.m. at Hyatt Regency Miami, Terrace Level, Tuttle Hall, Session F1<\/i>)<\/p>\n
