"ARSENIC IN GROUND WATER:
PART 1: Arsenic Geochemistry: Demystifying
the Complexities." November 10, 2010; 1pm
CST (90-min)
By Madeline Gotkowitz, PG. and Madeline
Schreiber, PhD.
For more info and to register visit http://www.midwestgeo.com/webinars/arsenic1-11102010.php
Part 1 provides the latest understanding
about arsenic geochemistry, occurrence and
mobility in ground water. Learn the
long-term health effects of arsenic in
aquifers in the US and around the world.
Plus, learn how arsenic concentrations are
effected by site geology for remediation
design and effectiveness. This webinar
presents the background on common issues and
demystifies topics we currently hold as
"conventional wisdom".
"ARSENIC
IN GROUND WATER,
PART 2: Advances in Arsenic Site
Investigations: Methods, Data Collection and
Interpretation."
November 17, 2010; 1pm CST (90-min). By
Madeline Gotkowitz, PG. and Madeline
Schreiber, PhD.
For more info and to register visit http://www.midwestgeo.com/webinars/arsenic2-11172010.php
Part 2 provides a process to identify and
characterize arsenic in ground water. This
webinar will include up-to-date procedures
for field methods, data analysis and
interpretation. Consultants, regulators and
environmental engineers will discover what
to look for at sites to differentiate
naturally-occurring arsenic releases from
anthropogenic arsenic contamination. Learn
how drilling, well installation and screen
placement play a role in arsenic
geochemistry.

Title: As 2006: Natural Arsenic in
Groundwaters of Latin America
Occurrence,
Health
Impact, Remediation, Management
Date: 20-24 June 2006
Venue: Mexico City, Mexico
Description:
The congress "As 2006" is a platform for discussion and exchange of scientific knowledge and
ideas to identify future research.targets needed to
improve the understanding of the occurrence and mobility of arsenic in groundwater, the health
impacts and risks when using this water for drinking or irrigation purposes,
and to develop, evaluate, select
and apply those remediation methods The regional focus of
attention is dedicated
to Latin America. However, researchers working on arsenic elsewhere in the world are
strongly encouraged to contribute.
