Unconventional contaminants NICOLE Network Spring Meeting & Workshop Manchester UK, 24-‐26 June 2015 Introduction The NICOLE network continually strives to develop and promote site specific risk based and cost effective management and remediation of contaminated land, optimized through careful consideration of the environmental, social and economic impacts and benefits in choosing the most appropriate management plan. The Manchester workshop aims to explore the application of this philosophy in the context of particular groups of contaminants that may be considered less ‘mainstream’ in terms of the nature of their occurrence or perceived impact on many industrial operations, or because our understanding is in the early stages of development, as we begin to explore these newly identified or ‘emerging’ contaminants. We therefore intend to use the spring workshop in Manchester UK to explore a range of these “Unconventional contaminants”, through both oral and/or poster sessions on the following: • Pharmaceutical and personal care products (including dioxane) • Per-‐ and poly-‐fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – otherwise referred to as Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs),
including contribution from the NICOLE Emerging Contaminants working group on PFOS. • Asbestos – investigation, risk assessment and novel techniques to remediate asbestos in the ground. • Challenging Metals – for example, chromium (VI), arsenic, molybdenum, antimony and rare earth
elements (REEs).
• Radionuclides and Radioactive substances, including naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM)
