Information about past “archived” courses
The team submits abstracts to different conferences across the United States in the hopes of educating Federal/State agencies, environmental consultants, and stakeholders on the development and appropriate uses of passive sampling technologies. If you attended one of these conferences and have feedback, or know of future conferences we should participate in, please contact the team lead listed on the team public page (see button above).
Upcoming Conferences
Past Conferences
Regulatory Survey Regarding Polyethylene Diffusion Bag Sampling Preliminary Results
Regulatory Survey asking State Agencies if any Regulatory Prohibitions exist for the Use of Passive Devices for Sampling GW
Lessons Learned
A lesson learned is a good work practice, innovative approach, or experience that is captured and shared to improve the intended application or raise awareness. It may also be an adverse work practice or experience that is captured and shared to avoid recurrence. If you have a lesson to share, please contact the team lead listed on the team public page (see button above).
Latest Success Stories
Success Story Form
As with all developing technologies, it is important to share your story so that other people may learn from your experiences. We appreciate real-life experiences that highlight advantages and/or limitations in sampling with passive devices or how you dealt with getting State agency acceptance to use these technologies.
