Burlington, Mass., May 3, 2022 – Haley & Aldrich announced today that 28 of its staff members will have speaking roles at this year’s Twelfth International Conference on Remediation of Chlorinated and Recalcitrant Compounds, being held May 22-26. This event, organized by Battelle, will take place at the Palm Springs Convention Center in Palm Springs, California. Along with Haley & Aldrich’s sponsoring of the Student Events program, the firm’s experts will teach a short course, chair six sessions, and present 12 platforms and eight technical posters.
“Haley & Aldrich is proud to once again be strongly represented at Battelle’s chlorinated conference,” said Murray Einarson, Haley & Aldrich’s service leader for Contaminated site management. “After two years of virtual meetings, we’re very excited to be able to meet our colleagues in person while sharing our research and knowledge about important industry topics such as PFAS, high-resolution site characterization, and vapor intrusion, among many others.”
