Bioavailability of Contaminants of Concern in Soils at DoD-Impacted Sites
Dr. Hans Stroo, SERDP and ESTCP Ms. Yvette Lowney, Alloy LLC Dr. Nicholas Basta, The Ohio State University Thursday, November 3, 2016 12:00 PM ET (9:00 AM PT) Join SERDP and ESTCP on Thursday, November 3 for three presentations on Department of Defense (DoD) research efforts on the bioavailability of contaminants in soils. First, Dr. Hans Stroo will summarize key findings and recommendations for future research from a recently prepared white paper on SERDP and ESTCP research investments on the bioavailability of contaminants in soils and sediments. Second, Ms. Yvette Lowney will discuss the results of her work on the interactions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with soil and how these interactions control the oral and dermal bioavailability of PAHs in soil to humans. Finally, Dr. Nicholas Basta will discuss the mechanisms and permanence of sequestered lead and arsenic in soils with a focus on impacts on human bioavailability.

Additional Upcoming Events in the Webinar Series An October 20 webinar will feature two presentations on Department of Defense (DoD) decision making and climate change. First, Dr. Richard Moss from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will discuss vulnerability assessments and resilience planning at federal sites, and will elaborate on three sets of methods required to project exposure to hazards, evaluate consequences and manage effective communications. Dr. Moss will also talk about suggested elements of a roadmap to support agencies in preparing for climate change, including additional methods development and capacity building. Second, Dr. Casey Brown from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst will describe and demonstrate a framework for assessing climate change risks to DoD installations and the built environment, and will present a general framework for assessing climate risks to military installations based on decision-scaling.
