PFAS Experts Webinar
July 19, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EDT
Ivan Cooper is presenting during the PFAS Experts Webinar presented by Remediation Journal. The webinar will be a 1-hour science-based overview with the goal of interpreting what these recent HALs may mean and inform those who may be impacted by this recent development. The webinar topics include updates on how and why the EPA developed the HALs, including the underlying toxicology; what the HALs may mean in the context of drinking water and remediation goals; impacts of chemistry and analytics; and how the HALs may affect remediation technologies. Q&A will follow the presentation.

He serves on the Water Environment Federation’s Industrial Waste Committee. He received the 2017 Roy F. Weston Award – for contributions in solid waste technology and management, and the 2019 Distinguished Individual Achievement Award from the Solid Waste Association of North America. The US State Department selected Mr. Cooper as a distinguished scholar to represent the United States for consultation programs in solid waste and wastewater issues for the Palestinian West Bank Territories and Morocco. Mr. Cooper is a frequent presenter of wastewater and leachate treatment issues for SWANA, EREF, Environmental Business Council, WEF, and other organizations. He speaks about leachate treatment alternatives, UV interference at POTWs from leachate, ammonia reduction technologies for leachate pretreatment and direct discharge, PFAS conventional and innovative leachate treatment technologies, impacts to leachate from condensate in aggressive gas well withdrawal, impacts to leachate from ash disposal, and unconventional drilling waste disposal in landfills. He has published and presented over 100 times on water and wastewater issues at conferences throughout the world.
