ITVA Altlastensymposium 2015, Gastronomie, Stadtpark Bochum
March 19-20, 2015 Gastronomie, Bochum website

Management and redevelopment of contaminated sites in view of a sustainable, resource-efficient approach dealing with the environment is more relevant than ever. At the symposium, the current state of discussion will be presented for the “Summary Regulation”. Legal aspects, such as the legal and practical importance of handling contaminated land register will be discussed.
Investigation and remediation in solid / fractured rock and current practices of soil and groundwater remediation are main themes of the symposium. Almost 70 years after the 2nd world war explosive ordnance causes significant risk to occupational safety and site development. Investors and consulting companies are often not aware of the problems associated with it. Various problems of clearance of explosive ordnance are presented.
The aim of the symposium is to discuss current issues and to promote interdisciplinary information and experience.

Groundwater Monitoring & Remediation Special
March 19-20, 2015 website
|
There is a myriad of in situ treatment technologies available for deployment by remediation scientists and engineers. These technologies range from physical (multiphase extraction, pump-and-treat, and thermal) to chemical (oxidation, reduction, and surfactants) and biological (enhanced, augmentation, and natural attenuation) methods.
A Special Issue of this periodical will focus on recent research efforts and well-documented case studies involving integrated in situ treatment systems for site remediation. While much integration may have been ad hoc, contributions are sought providing useful insight into proactive technology integration, demonstration of technology compatibility, or identification of transition points.

ICEENN 2015
September 6- 10 2015, Vienna, Austria website
|
Engineered nanoparticles and nanomaterials offer many potential benefits as a result of novel properties and behaviour that materials can exhibit when manufactured or precisely manipulated at the nanoscale. The 10th ICEENN will bring together researchers, regulators and industry from all over the world to discuss the potential hazards and resulting risks of current and future applications in the key sector of nanotechnology, along with ways to characterize nanoparticles and mechanisms to bring about risk reduction to harvest the economic and social benefits of this fascinating technology.
