SUMMARY:SALT Framework for Risk Communication
DESCRIPTION:Risk communication is communication intended to supply audience members with the information they need to make informed\, independent judgements about risks to health\, safety\, and the environment. Risk communication should be meaningful\, understandable\, and actionable. As the U.S. EPA pursues its mission to protect human health and the environment\, EPA staff practice risk communication every day. Effectively communicating science and potential health risk is one of the most important jobs we have. The SALT Framework is based on a process of Strategy\, Action\, and Learning and is supported by Tools that together provide a research-based approach and best practices for communicating our work to the American people. This webinar will go over how to use the SALT framework as well as a discussion of key practices and principles for effective risk communication. While the SALT framework is intended for EPA staff\, the guiding principles can be applied to any organization’s risk communication efforts.

SUMMARY:EPA Tools & Resources Webinar: PFAS Destruction by a Hazardous Waste Incinerator
DESCRIPTION:The complete destruction of PFAS is important to help protect human health and the environment. Technologies that can destroy PFAS are needed to treat stockpiles of materials with high concentrations of PFAS\, such as aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) and other contaminated environmental matrices. PFAS properties make them difficult to destroy\, and other fluorinated compounds and PFAS may be formed as byproducts (known as products of incomplete destruction or PIDs) if conditions are not adequate for their destruction. It is important to evaluate the efficacies of various technologies for the destruction of PFAS. This presentation will describe the development of Appendix A of EPA’s 2024 Interim Guidance on the Destruction and Disposal of PFAS and Materials Containing PFAS and its use to evaluate thermal treatment technologies\, including results of an evaluation of a full-scale hazardous waste incinerator to evaluate air emissions and the effectiveness of incineration. Results show promise for both incineration and the ability to conduct a comprehensive characterization of an incinerator (report).

SUMMARY:Improving Water Quality with Sensors - Success Stories
DESCRIPTION:From sewers to Great Lakes: scaling sensor systems in your community. Learn about saving money and making smarter decisions with sensors from a review of two case studies from Michigan and Ohio. \nHave you kept up with advancements in environmental sensing? Scared of talking to salespeople instead of scientists and engineers about new technology? Worried about the cost of scaling and being locked to proprietary systems? Well so are we! That’s why we founded Freeboard Technology in 2022 as a subsidiary of LimnoTech. Born out of decades of experience monitoring the Great Lakes and supporting hundreds of communities with environmental issues\, Freeboard is transforming monitoring and real-time sensing. \nJoin this webinar to hear our approach to modernizing environmental infrastructure to make important decisions right now. Although we love fancy modeling and using cutting edge AI\, those tools are useless without high-quality direct observations of your river\, lake\, stream\, wetland\, or urban stormwater system. Hear how organizations have trusted Freeboard to select\, build\, deploy\, and operate critical real-time sensing systems. The webinar will review two success stories. The first one in Michigan increased the number of observations in priority watersheds ten-fold to track agricultural impacts to harmful algal blooms. The second focuses on reducing combined sewer overflow impacts in small communities with limited resources in Ohio. Both take advantage of Freeboard’s unique ability to help your organization build and operate new sensor systems quickly. Our engineers and scientists are using the latest global innovations in sensors\, secure cloud infrastructure\, and small batch manufacturing to massively grow the number of sensors deployed by your organization.

SUMMARY:Piloting a Digital Service  for the Planet
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Piloting a Digital Service for the Planet\, a dialogue kicking off a new collaboration between New America’s Technology and Democracy programs and New Practice Lab\, and the Environmental Policy Innovation Center (EPIC). This exciting partnership aims to change how government uses technology and data to accelerate environmental progress.  \nThe event will convene leaders working at the intersection of public interest technology\, environmental policy\, and data to hear from the inaugural cohort of Digital Service for the Planet (DSP) Fellows. This interdisciplinary group of fellows is made up of technologists and former public servants who will drive the work of this collaboration in the months ahead. \nIncubated in EPIC’s Technology team\, DSP Fellows will prototype a new digital services model and strategies for improving how we build and manage environmental data and technology across sectors. They’ll start with three priorities that live at the nexus of climate and public health: our drinking water\, wetlands\, and forests. \nJoin us to hear directly from DSP Fellows about this exciting work and learn more about how you can get involved.
