EBC Rhode Island Program: Emerging Issues in PCB Management for Buildings and the Environment
Details
Date: September 6, 2018
Venue
Environmental Business Council of New England
With presentations from industry experts, this EBC Rhode Island program will focus on PCBs, both in building materials as well as the environment. PCBs are one of only a few contaminants regulated by the EPA (through TSCA) as well as by individual states. As the TSCA regulations are fairly rigid and prescriptive, the investigation and remediation of PCBs can be extremely challenging. This program will focus on the state of the industry and discuss advanced issues in the assessment / cleanup of PCB-impacted building projects. Specific topics to be included by our experts are laboratory analysis of PCBs in building materials, air and environmental media, the development of successful assessment plans (or presumptive non-sampling approaches), the design of PCB-remediation alternatives, the assessment of potential human health risks, the implementation of PCB remediation projects, and the results of an EPA-funded study comparing active versus passive sampling of PCBs in indoor air.
Continuing Education Certificates are awarded by the EBC for this program (2.5) training contact hours). Please select this option during registration if you wish to receive a certificate.
