In this episode, host Sean Grady sits down with Jim Galligan, Senior Vice President at TerraTherm, to discuss advanced thermal remediation technologies. Jim, an industry veteran with over 34 years of expertise, dives deep into thermal conduction heating (TCH), electrical resistance heating (ERH), and steam-enhanced extraction (SEE)—powerful techniques used to remediate recalcitrant contaminants like PFAS, chlorinated solvents (PCE, TCE), PCBs, dioxins, and petroleum hydrocarbons.Learn how thermal remediation effectively targets complex contaminant source zones, even beneath buildings or challenging infrastructure, and discover why depth and geology are no longer barriers. Jim dispels common myths about thermal technologies, addresses lifecycle costs compared to traditional methods like chemical oxidation, and explains critical factors such as power infrastructure and hydrogeological site characterization.Ideal for environmental consultants, remediation engineers, and project managers looking for proven strategies to achieve rapid and reliable cleanup goals. Join us as we uncover how TerraTherm is driving innovation in environmental remediation, offering sustainable solutions and unparalleled performance in treating soil and groundwater contamination.#EnvironmentalTransformation #ThermalRemediation #TerraTherm #SoilCleanup #GroundwaterRemediation #PFAS #environmentalengineering 00:00 – Introduction to the Environmental Transformation Podcast01:15 – Meet Jim Galligan: 34 Years in Thermal Remediation03:25 – Overview of TerraTherm and Its Mission06:40 – What Is Thermal Remediation?

Welcome back to Sustainability Street, our podcast on theintersection of commercial real estate and the world we live in. For this episode, I'm talking about brownfield remediation with David Greek, managing partner of Greek Real Estate Partners.Based in New Jersey, the nation's densest state, Greek iswell-versed in turning remnants of the past into real estate opportunities for the future. And, while there are state incentives for cleaning up contaminated sites, he said the best driver for remediation is the market. That's why brownfields are having their moment. As thedemand for industrial real estate has boomed in recent years, more developers have turned to brownfields to unlock development sites. "While the Brownfields program in New Jersey has beenaround for a long time, a lot of uptick in the remediation activity only really occurred when the value of the underlying real estate justified it," Greek said.Here are some of the topics we covered: Third-generation developer (1:18)Remediation as a necessity in New Jersey (6:54)    What's driving brownfield demand nationally (10:49)The national picture (13:03) Case in point: Linden Logistics Center (14:16)Incentives vs. market forces (20:16)The New Jersey model for remediation (23:16)Managing brownfield risk (29:06)Brownfields and the Trump-era EPA (33:00)How to learn more about brownfields (36:09)

Penetration tests are probably the most common and recognized cybersecurity consulting services. Nearly every business above a certain size has had at least one pentest by an external firm. Here's the thing, though - the average ransomware attack looks an awful lot like the bog standard pentest we've all been purchasing or delivering for years. Yet thousands of orgs every year fall victim to these attacks. What's going on here? Why are we so bad at stopping the very thing we've been training against for so long? This Interview with Phillip Wylie will provide some insight into this! Spoiler: a lot of the issues we had 10, even 15 years ago remain today.

Penetration tests are probably the most common and recognized cybersecurity consulting services. Nearly every business above a certain size has had at least one pentest by an external firm. Here's the thing, though - the average ransomware attack looks an awful lot like the bog standard pentest we've all been purchasing or delivering for years. Yet thousands of orgs every year fall victim to these attacks. What's going on here? Why are we so bad at stopping the very thing we've been training against for so long? This Interview with Phillip Wylie will provide some insight into this! Spoiler: a lot of the issues we had 10, even 15 years ago remain today.

In 2020, ITRC's 1,4-Dioxane team created multiple tools and documents that provide information to assist all interested stakeholders in understanding this contaminant and for making informed, educated decisions. Since the 1950s, 1,4-Dioxane has seen widespread use as a solvent stabilizer. The use of solvents through the 1980s suggests its presence at thousands of solvent sites in the US; however, it is not always a standard compound in typical analytical suites for hazardous waste sites, so it previously was overlooked. The U.S. EPA has classified 1,4-Dioxane as "likely to be carcinogenic to humans." Some states have devised health standards or regulatory guidelines for drinking water and groundwater standards; these are often sub-part per billion values. These low standards present challenges for analysis, characterization, and remediation of 1,4-Dioxane. The 1,4-Dioxane: Science, Characterization & Analysis, and Remediation training is a series of six (6) modules. The six individual modules will be presented together live, and then archived on the ITRC 1,4-Dioxane training webpage for on demand listening. The modular 1,4-Dioxane training series provides an overview of 1,4-Dioxane and presenting six sections from the ITRC guidance document (1,4d-1, 2021):History of Use and Potential Sources (Sect 1)Regulatory Framework (Sect 2)Fate and Transport (Sect 3)Sampling and Analysis (Sect 4)Toxicity and Risk Assessment (Sect 5)Remediation and Treatment Technologies (Sect 6)After the six-part 1,4-Dioxane: Science, Characterization & Analysis, and Remediation series, you should understand:The history of 1,4-Dioxane manufacturing and usage and the potential sources of releases of 1,4-Dioxane to the environment.Primary state and U.S. federal regulatory programs of relevance to 1,4-DioxaneKey physical/chemical properties, and fate and transport processes that are relevant for 1,4-DioxaneBenefits and limitations of the available analytical methodsRisk drivers for human health and how ecological risk comparesHow/when/why different treatment technologies are appropriate We encourage you to use the ITRC 1,4-Dioxane products (14d-1) and these training modules to learn about 1,4-Dioxane and how you can apply these best practices to improve decision-making at your sites. For regulators and other government agency staff, this understanding of 1,4-Dioxane can be incorporated into your own programs. This training summarizes the current understanding of 1,4-Dioxane. While the training makes every effort to keep the information accessible to a wide audience, it is assumed that the participants will have some basic technical understanding of chemistry, environmental sciences, and risk assessment. As with other emerging contaminants, our understanding of 1,4-Dioxane continues to advance. This training provides the participants with information on areas where the science is evolving and where uncertainty persists.

DSPod SOLO returns for a conversation about a recent edition of “you can just do things,” where Github CEO Nat Friedman and company tested the levels of endocrine disrupting chemicals in 700 common food items. And friends, it does not look good! We dig through the data to pull out some trends that can help us avoid getting slowly poisoned by our food, try to figure out if akshually no it's fine that there's plastics everywhere, and debate if there's a better way of naming these chemicals that reflects their ball-crushing nature.

In episode 289, Steve talks about the pricing for mold remediation. All projects will vary in price but you should expect to pay at least $5,000 for proper mold remediation. It's important to hire the proper mold remediation company. The cheapest price will likely give you the lowest quality of work. If you aren't sure what needs to be done for your remediation project, reach out to us and we can create a SOW (scope of work). We appreciate all of you and want to wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Themes: PANS, PANDAS, Mold Illness, Homeopathy Episode: Have you noticed that your kids have had a behavior change? More outbursts? Melt downs? Even OCD like tendencies? It may not be OCD at all… It may be PANS, Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome, often linked to Mold Illness. To Talk about this today, we have Vital-Side Operations Manager, homeopathy student, and mother of 3, Lori Weir. Lori's 3 kids have all been affected by mold and chronic illness, specifically PANS & MCAS, ranging over the years since 2018.
