"Particle Speciation"
Free Environmental Forensics Web Seminar
What are the fundamental attributes of particles?  How can they be characterized? 
How can particle speciation provide added value to your investigations?

Join RJ Lee Group's expert Dr. Stephen Kennedy for the Web Seminar Presentation:

'Particle Speciation: Soil, Sediment, Airborne Particulate or Dust'
Thursday, October 29th, 2009 @ 1:00 PM EST

Environmental particulate in air, soil, sediment or indoor and outdoor dust is of forensic interest when:

  • Permissible limits are exceeded
  • Particulate presents a nuisance problem
  • Source(s) of particulate need to be identified
  • Clean-up costs need to be allocated
  • Remediation strategies need to be employed

These issues are best addressed using particle-by-particle analytical speciation techniques where a unique species is defined by the combination of chemical composition, particle size, shape and association. Join Dr. Kennedy as he discusses the acquisition of species-specific characteristics by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) and its application to specific case studies

Dr. Kennedy's free live Web Seminar will be 30 minutes in length followed by a 15 minute question and answer session.  To register today contact: Kristy Anderson at kanderson@rjlg.com or call 724-387-1919.
