The First Pollution PMP Contaminant (see below) Discussed was Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) 24 years ago in Erice. This year we wish to recommend that in 2013 the Pollution Panel focus on “Innovative cleanup technologies”. When I first came to Erice we felt that DNAPL (Dense Non Aqueous Phase Liquids/PCE) could not be cleaned up however as has been shown at the Interagency Government Test site at the Kennedy Space Centre below, DNAPL site can now be remediated by several new technologies. Lauch Complex 34, Cape Canaveral, Florida One of the emerging areas of environmental need is soil gas investigations relative to vapor intrusion risk as noted below: As Chairman of ASTM International D 18.21.02, I have been very active in developing soil gas monitoring systems for the past 20 years. The list of the soil gas standards developed to date are provided below. American Society for Testing and Materials International Chairman, L. Everett, ASTM D18.21.02 D5314-92 (2006) Standard Guide for Soil Gas Monitoring in the Vadose Zone D7758 (2012) Practice For Passive Soil Gas Sampling in the Vadose Zone for Source Identification, Spatial Variability Assessment, Monitoring, and Vapor Intrusion Evaluations D7648 (2012) Practice For Active Soil Gas Sampling for Direct Push or Manual-Driven Hand-Sampling Equipment D7663 (2012) Practice for Active Soil Gas Sampling in the Vadose Zone for Vapor Intrusion Evaluations International Dynamic Soil Gas Monitoring Symposium including Methane risk, Jacksonville, Florida January 2013. Chairman Lorne Everett One of the proposed innovative technologies for 2013 is Environmental Nanotechnology Applications. The session will include discussions of: Remediation of contaminated groundwater using nanoparticles containing zero-valent iron is one of the most prominent examples of a rapidly emerging technology with considerable potential benefits. One of the main environmental applications of nanotechnology is in the water sector. As freshwater sources become increasingly scarce due to overconsumption and contamination,
