SUSTAINABLE FUTURES™ TRAINING WORKSHOP

EPA Sustainable Futures™ Training Workshop - with CERM Participation

ChemADVISOR has invited the United States Environmental Protection Agency to present at a Sustainable Futures™ Training Workshop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  This three day workshop teaches students how to conduct screening-level hazard, exposure, and risk characterizations of your chemicals, in the absence of test data, by using the same methods and models that EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) uses to perform chemical risk screening and prioritization.

The course will be offered May 1 - 3, 2012 at a cost of $750 per person. The registration deadline is April 17, 2012.  But, early registration is recommended, because seats are limited.  Registration will be available until the deadline, or until the workshop is full.

For more information, or to register for the workshop, please see the detailed information available at: chemadvisor.com (external link)

What You Will Learn:
