Once known as “forever chemicals,” #PFAS aren’t so forever anymore thanks, in part, to treatment technologies developed right here at H&A. The U.S. Department of Defense’s environmental and energy R&D programs, SERDP & ESTCP, have funded some of H&A’s applied PFAS research, and they’ve invited two of our experts — Zhong (John) Xiong, PhD, PE, and Min-Ying Jacob Chu — to present on projects funded by the programs. These projects can help us better understand and destroy PFAS at military sites and anywhere else they're found. Learn more about our PFAS practice: https://lnkd.in/etQJepuD

The DoD relies on petrochemicals for the majority of its organic commodities used in operations, but there is a dire need to find alternatives, like biomanufacturing. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)’s Switch program aims to address the challenging issues with these alternatives by developing tools and approaches that will provide supply chain resilience and a pathway to continuous biomanufacturing.

PFAS and the Phase I ESA So now that PFOA and PFOS are designated as hazardous under CERCLA are there going to be changes to the Phase I ESA market? Do you anticipate that you will bump up your costs a bit? Or do you think it will not increase your research time? General thoughts!

For several decades, much of the emphasis within #CBRN detection has been most about chemical warfare detection, with occasional blips in biological detection. Radiation detection often gets treated at best as a settled issue and solved problem. After all, we have been able to detect, measure, and identify radiation rather a lot easier than we can do the same for chemicals and biological materials. https://lnkd.in/efQGFT7r

Update: the battle underway within the reconciliation meeting is heating up. Mike Turner went on camera this morning saying the language in the bill is bad and the UAP Act will likely fail. The UAP Review board is not the issue. The issues are: 1) the eminent domain language in [Sections 9010]. The defense contractors have drawn a line in the sand and are pressuring those members to whom they provide large campaign donations to remove that section or pull the bill. 2) the subpoena powers provided for in [Section 9006(i) - Powers]. This creates creates greater risk to those inside the USAPs to withhold, hide or destroy UAP related records or materials. 3) the language pertaining to the Department of Energy in [Section 9003(22)] and the Atomic Energy Act in [Section 9002(a)(4). The DOE is where many think the bulk of UAP USAPs have been parked. #ufotwitter #Disclosure

Back in 2005, the IAEA agreed that the Small Quantities Protocol (SQP) - which holds most safeguards obligations in abeyance for states with few nuclear activities - is not fit for purpose. In the nearly 20 years since then, IAEA states have been calling on fellow members to upgrade their SQPs to fix this. But still some remain in force, including for Saudi Arabia. The IAEA will no longer be drawing safeguards conclusions for states remaining on an old SQP. I consider why the IAEA has done this and what it means for states like Saudi Arabia in VERTIC's Trust & Verify, available below.
📢 NEW: Trust & Verify No. 174 is out! Featuring a lead article on the progress of the Working Group on the Strengthening of the Biological Weapons Convention one year on from its establishment. Plus a piece explaining why the IAEA will no longer draw safeguards conclusions for some states that haven’t modernised their safeguards agreements, an article examining amendments to the International Health Regulations and the national implementation thereof, an argument in favour of improving the security of submarine fibre optic cables from intentional attack through confidence-building measures, and much more!
