On Thursday past, the AECOM® Technology Corporation {NYSE:ACM} hosted a webcast update - THE ROLE OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION & POTENTIAL RISKS - highlighting bioremediation techniques, strategies, and systems involving nano-scaled zero valent iron {nZVI} applications on contaminated groundwater and soils.

AECOM's environmental practice Nanotechnology Initiative Director, Bill Looney, quite forthrightly addresses nanoOEHS challenges and concerns regarding surface/catalytic/magnetic properties while disclosing risk mitigation measures undertaken globally by AECOM®. 

Matt Zenker, PE, PhD and Dora Chiang, PE, PhD discuss and display data from their respective in situ pilot projects, performance results, comparative bench-scale observations, and conclusions {including life-cycle cleanup costs}.

{Zenker's Site 1 results commence circa 18:24, page 16; Chiang's Site 2 toxicity/persistence/mobility/treatability controls commence circa 27:12, page 22}.
