9am – 12noonProfessional Development Seminar 3 (not included in Conference registration) Registration $99De-Mystifying VOCs in IAQ – How to Become a VOC Rockstar Alice Delia, Prism Anayltical TechnologiesVolatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) have an extensive role in indoor air quality. In fact, it’s so extensive that it can be a real challenge to recognize the many areas VOCs have an impact.

• Biological processes (mold, bacteria, plants and trees, animals, people)

• Natural processes (decay, combustion, etc.)• Occupant activities (cooking, cleaning, etc.)• Material off gassing (building, furniture, etc.)• Fugitive emissions (stored products such as paint and

gasoline)• Outside intrusion (outdoor pollutants, soil vapor

intrusion)The variety and number of VOCs represented by these sources and activities creates complex mixtures that can be difficult to assess. However, the pattern, or “fingerprint,” of VOCs can communicate a lot of information to the discerning eye. There are several key concepts that can be used to recognize traits and patterns in common

indoor scenarios. These provide critical insights to the investigator and increase the ability of the investigator to more fully identify possible problems in the built environment. Attendees will understand the basics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their role in IAQ, explore the many sources and activities that produce or affect VOCs, learn how to use critical indicators to understand the “story” represented by the VOCs present, and identify effective strategies for removing or reducing VOCs in the built environment.

This session also features the presentation of the 2018 Jack Snider Jr. Award and the EIA 2018 keynote address.

EIA 2018 Technical Program Monday, March 19 – Wednesday March, 21

Session 1EPA War Stories Peggy Forney

CTRetired after 31 years as an Enforcement Chemist with the EPA/NEIC, the presenter will share stories about settled cases. The ones

discussed here will not be limited to asbestos projects worked on, but other environmental cases worked on by other chemists in the EPA labs. In addition to performing technical analysis, data must also be defended in Federal and State courts.

Session 2Reaching a Changing Workforce Using Modern Instruction TechnologiesDanaya Benedetto A 2007 EPA memo issued a blanket approval for online AHERA refresher classes, pushing the oversight and administration down to state environmental departments. Over the next decade, a handful of online courses have entered the market, but the landscape of asbestos instruction and accreditation remains less advanced and limited by public perception. As the nation faces a labor shortage for deskless workers, the environmental industry is challenged to modify existing instruction methods in an effort to appeal to changing workforce. This session will address current online learners, instructors, perceptions and realities of online education and the newest trends and technologies. Session 3 Management Paradigms - Effective and Visionary Strategy to Protect Physical and Human Assets Mark Drozdov, BSI, CAI, CMA, SSM Melita ElmoreThis presentation will present a brief overview of three International Standards Organization (ISO) programs (ISO 31000, 55001, and (soon-to-be-finalized) 45001) that deal with safety, risk and asset management, and demonstrate how the three management systems may be used in tandem within an organization that values its property, processes and people. The presentation will show how a potential convergence of these three systems may address an organization’s needs to minimize risk while protecting assets and workers within an effective, visionary strategy.

Session 4A Case Study of Lead Impacts from an Indoor Gun Range: Investigation and Remediation StrategiesNeil Doran, PG

CTThis presentation will compare lead cleanup criteria established by the CA Departments of Public Health and the Toxic Substance Control,

and explore how these differences influence remedial strategies. The presentations will discuss the merits of investigative and data analytical methods used, and discuss ‘lessons learned’ along the way, including the influence of confounding factors to evaluating lead in the environment. A brief outline follows.

Session 5Asbestos in Consumer Products, a Continued Health RiskRobert DeMalo, M.Sc. According to the National Cancer Institute, up to 5,000 consumer products contained asbestos. Many industry professionals know that asbestos was banned for use in building materials, however many are surprised to find that asbestos is not banned for use in everyday consumer products. The analytical testing for asbestos in consumer products is complex and requires specific procedures, knowledge and experience to provide accurate and reliable data. This session will discuss consumer products containing asbestos, the challenges to testing as well as the accurately differentiating and categorizing these particles according to regulatory definitions.

Session 6Formaldehyde: Are You Prepared for the Next ‘News” ReleaseSarah Mack

CTFormaldehyde, like “Black Mold”, is gaining more and more traction in the news headlines as of late. As a result, many companies, owners,

employees, and homeowners are requesting analysis for this known carcinogen. How can you better prepare your business for quick response in the wake of increasing Formaldehyde awareness? We will discuss why individuals should be concerned, sources in the built environment, sampling plans based on available methods and location needs, and how to better align yourself to win the attention of the prospective client and concerned occupant when the next ‘News’ release airs.

Session 7Asbestos Related Environmental Crimes in South CarolinaMarc McKennaKeith FrostRandy Stewart

CTThis session will provide a summary of recent enforcement cases in South Carolina presented by personnel from the South Carolinas

Department of Health and Environmental Control.

Session 8Bullsh*t – How People CheatSteve Fulford

CTThis Penn and Teller style session will explore all the many ways various disciplines skirt the regulations…including contractors, consultants,

labs, suppliers, regulators, both clients and vendors! Join us for this controversial session, where no one goes unscathed. All sources will remain confidential.

Session 9Vapor Mitigation System QA/QC Benjamin Hestir, PE Scott Rohlf, CIH

CTThe installation of vapor mitigation systems (VMS) to prevent to the entry of hazardous vapor phase subsurface contaminants is becoming a

common requirement when contaminated real estate is redeveloped. These multi-layer membrane and vapor collection systems are installed early in the construction process, prior to the pouring of foundation slabs. They are designed to provide a preferential pathway to any vapor phase contaminants present in the subsurface, allowing them to be vented at roof height rather than entering and accumulating in buildings, whether residential or

commercial. A recent project involving seven separate structures in a mixed-use development in South Carolina has provided an excellent opportunity to identify common problems encountered during the installation process and during the post-construction monitoring.

Tuesday, March 20, 2018Plenary SessionNIOSH Method 7400 Proposed RevisionsTom LaubenthalEd CahillThe National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health’s (NIOSH) Method 7400 is likely the most commonly referenced asbestos air sampling and analysis method in North America. It has been since 1987 since significant revisions have been made to Method 7400. The NIOSH staff reviewed, revised and added various aspects of the method. At the time of this writing, the final version has been submitted to agency management for their review. We will look at the proposed revisions that vary from prep options, analytical issues and quality control procedures.

Session 10Managing IAQ & Infection Control in Healthcare FacilitiesJason Dobranic, PhD

CTIndoor air quality is especially important in healthcare facilities (hospitals, surgical centers, doctor’s offices, urgent care clinics, and nursing

homes) because they have unique concerns such as chemical hazards and infectious or other biological hazards. IAQ can affect the quality of care, patient comfort and health, and patient satisfaction. This last point cannot be discounted as patient satisfaction surveys have a direct impact on funding received by the facility. IAQ professionals working in healthcare facilities need to examine air-exchange rates, humidity, temperatures, and pressures within the facility to make sure the building systems are functioning as designed. However, controlling mold and infectious agents can be even more problematic. This presentation will discuss what IAQ professionals need to know about IAQ in healthcare facilities with particular focus on how to reduce risk of spreading healthcare acquired infections (HAIs) to patients.

Session 11Is Talc an “Asbestos” Issue? YES! NO! MAYBE?Marty S. Rutstein, PhDTalc is naturally occurring hydrated magnesium silicate that typically forms masses of platelets which readily separate into planar masses and thereby yield commercially useful properties. Talc can be a natural associate of rocks which contain asbestiform and/or non-asbestiform serpentine, tremolite and anthophyllite. Talc-related diseases have been proposed to develop independently of asbestos, as well as in synchrony with asbestos exposures. Recently, there has been a surge in talcum powder lawsuits claiming: 1. mesothelioma development from inhaled dust and/or 2. ovarian cancer from application of dusting powders to female genital areas. The major legal questions are: is talc itself intrinsically dangerous and are the perceived dangers actually due to asbestos contamination from asbestos (tremolite and/or anthophyllite)? And was the producing company responsible for warning consumers about the postulated dangers?

Session 12Case Study on Exide Battery Recycling PlantShayan Simantob

CTExide’s operations resulted in the release of lead and other metals into the environment in the communities surrounding Exide’s former Vernon

facility. More than 100,000 people live, work, and play near and around the former Exide plant within the investigation and cleanup area. After years of concerns about lead emissions polluting nearby neighborhoods, California’s Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has taken over the closure and cleanup of this industrial facility and surrounding residential neighborhoods near Los Angeles. We’ll do a dive into this release of aerially-deposited lead onto residential homes, and a case study of sampling strategies to test 10,000 properties in the surrounding community.

Session 13Disinfection for Healthcare - Acquired InfectionsAlan Neumann, PhD

CTThis session will address the healthcare-acquired Infections (HAI) that have been cause of great concern, especially for hospitals and

healthcare workers for many years. Hospitals were, and still are, considered buildings where people go to die, because so many individuals go for treatment of one disease and die of complications from a disease ‘du jour’ that may have been acquired in the hospital during the individual’s stay in the facility. It has been stated by federal agencies and many researchers that HAIs can be reduced by seventy percent, if certain rules/protocols are strictly followed, and the same applies to Long-term Healthcare Facilities (LTHF) and to the residences of individuals with communicable diseases. Techniques and supplies have been readily available to institutions and individuals to accomplish proper disinfection for twenty years, yet they still occur. The goal is to reduce the numbers of pathogens to below the dose-response level of the pathogen, even when the dose-response number is very low due to immuno-suppression/ senescence of an individual.

Session 14Stain Removers, Antimicrobials and Biocides: What Can Go Wrong and How to Make a Project Go Right When Their Use is Deemed EssentialDaniel Stih, CMC, CIEC

CTSeveral experiments performed in partnership with the Los Alamos National Laboratory are presented. These experiments were originally

intended to study the effectiveness of mold treatment products. They were expanded in scope when it was discovered using them inhibited the ability of surface and air samples to detect residual mold. Sometimes the use of anti-microbials or biocides resulted in new growth. Those attending this session will learn the pros and cons of using stain removers, biocides or anti-microbials, what can go wrong and how to make a project successful when their use is deemed essential.

Session 15The Intent and Applicability of the Federal Asbestos RegulationsBill Cavness

CTMany articles in the press today give people the idea that if you have (i.e.) asbestos floor tile in your home or building, it is your obligation to

remove it as if it were friable fireproofing, as it is a health hazard that will cause disease and death to the building occupants. In addition, the current interest in issues like NOA, ban asbestos, asbestos in crayons, etc., take our focus off of the real asbestos problem, which is ACM in millions upon millions of buildings in the US that are being worked on daily by the construction industry. This session will explore the original intent of asbestos regulations and how they were and are currently applied.

Session 16Stuck Between a Rock and Hard PlaceVincent BrennanChris Walker

CTThis case study will explore the conflicting state and federal regulations governing asbestos containing materials disturbed during the exterior

renovations of Converse Hall (circa 1895) at the University of Vermont, listed on the State Register of Historic Places with the eligibility for National Register. The building consists of an exterior veneer of gravity-loaded, non-reinforced marble blocks applied directly to a multi-wythe masonry back-up wall. The predominant roof covering throughout is slate shingles. This renovation included

removal and replacement of the slate shingled roof and disassembling the tops of stone walls above roof lines. Over the past half century multiple temporary repairs were attempted to fix leaks in the failing mortar joints with the use of adhesive and caulking materials that contained asbestos. A positive felt paper and positive adhesive was used under the slate shingles. The big question through the design process was “Who would do what?” The historic nature of the building would suggest a stone mason do the work, the VTDOH had other ideas and we would need to employ asbestos abatement professionals to do the work. How do we find the “best” of both worlds?

Session 17Update: Status of ASTM PRV Standard GuideLisa RogersIn 2017, a presentation was made discussing the first attempts by the ASTM subcommittee D22.08 to write a consensus standard guide that would provide a framework for minimum standard of care for Post Remediation Verification (PRV) of fungal contamination removal. PRV is a contentious issue, with as many opinion about its efficacy and conduct as there are projects. The objective of the committee work project is to put together the essential elements necessary to provide a minimum practice for consistency while maintaining best outcomes. This presentation will discuss what the committee has accomplished or struggled with in the past year, the issues being debated and the strategy going forward. The objective of the presentation is to update practitioners and other stakeholders on the standard development and to continue the dialogue to be able to create a truly consensus document. The speaker expects a vigorous Q&A to follow.

Session 18Real World Response Solutions to Legionnaires Disease Confirmed CasesScott Rohlf, CIH Michael Crandall

CTThis presentation will walk people through two recent confirmed Legionnaires Disease cases in assisted living facilities,

and exactly how the building owner, the affected and the consultant worked together to assess building conditions, potential sources of legionella, sampling, remediation, and confirmation of efficacy. The speaker will also discuss lessions learned on what to do and what not to do. The presenters will walk through the real world application of a building water management plan and discuss how these cases could have been avoided if these practices were in place.

Enjoy good times, good food and fabulous entertainment!

Wednesday, March 21, 2018Plenary SessionThe Vermiculite QuestionSean Fitzgerald, PGJeanne Spencer This joint lecture presentation will present the latest applicable science and regulation on the topic of vermiculite, stimulating an open question and answer exchange regarding the latest developments in field and laboratory procedures. The speakers will describe the geology and mineralogy of vermiculite, commonalities with asbestos and various sub varietals, its presence in consumer and commercial products and public health concerns. Speakers will discuss efforts to develop analytical protocols through ASTM that can readily identify vermiculite consistent with the deposit in Libby, MT, as differentiatable from sources where contamination has rarely been shown.

Session 19 Forensic Analysis to Determine the Age of Mold Colonies in Humidity Compromised Built-Environments Edward Sobek, PhDThe concept of using biological and environmental

parameters to determine a time frame for mold growth initiation would theoretically allow interested parties to use that data to identify root cause. This presentation uses a case study of humidity related mold growth in a large commercial property. The speaker will discuss the forensic approach, method of sample collection and image capture with calibration, and provide a basic overview of the science behind determining the mold age, with the appropriate viable and DNA mold analysis, while providing the limitations of the approach and where it will most likely be successful.

Session 20From Earth to Air: The Science and Characterization of Respirable Crystalline SilicaDonald Ewert, IHMarc Hugus, IH While most of the regulated community is familiar with OSHA’s rigid new standards limiting occupational exposure to crystalline silica, few are aware of the fact that HazCom 2012 rules also regulate Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) in the bulk materials we use. This presentation will provide participants with a comprehensive overview of crystalline silica and the many nuances involved with this science. Starting with raw earthen material, we will describe the mineralogical characterization process and methods currently employed to determine the weight percent of crystalline silica in products. This portion of the lecture will also discuss the different mineralogical polymorphs that exist, and give an overview of various techniques for quantifying each of these species. The second half of our presentation will provide attendees with an overview of exposure sampling methods and analytical techniques. This discussion includes a historical review of the methods currently in use, as well as details on leading edge technologies and RCS aerosol collection techniques.
