International scientific leaders are coming together to participate in the 2019 Bioremediation Symposium and Sustainable Environmental Technologies. Merit Laboratories will be attending this international symposium, which is being held April 15-18 in Baltimore. 

The Bioremediation Symposium is an international scientific forum for sharing research results, practical experiences, and opportunities associated with advances in bioremediation and green and sustainable practices in remediation. Several sessions focus on treatment technologies for emerging contaminants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).  

Nearly 500 platforms and posters will be presented in 48 breakout sessions. Sessions and panels include the following thematic tracks:

• Characterization and Remediation of PFAS

• Green and Sustainable Remediation (GSR)

• Bioremediation Implementation Practices

• Application of Bioremediation to Complex Sites

• Biodegradation of Emerging Contaminants

• Sustainable Site Management Strategies

• Innovations in Bioremediation Technologies

• Evaluating and Mitigating Vapor Intrusion

• Advanced Tools for Assessing Bioremediation

• Managing Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Impacted Sites
