Fuel spills in aquatic environments can result in significant environmental, social, and legal consequences. While many training programs focus on spill containment and cleanup, this course fills a critical gap: how to effectively sample and assess the extent and impact of a spill in water and groundwater systems.
This course emphasizes:
- Understanding Fuel Spills: Explore the sources and types of fuel spills, their behavior in aquatic systems, and the influence of climate and environmental conditions on spill dynamics.
- Designing a Sampling Program: Learn how to prepare a targeted sampling plan and choose appropriate sampling equipment
- Best Practices in Sample Collection: Gain critical knowledge on field collection methods, contamination prevention, sample handling, chain of custody, and proper documentation.
- Data Application: Understand how analytical results support incident response, regulatory compliance, and environmental protection efforts.
Through real-world examples and interactive exercises, you’ll develop the foundational skills needed to identify, sample, and analyze fuel spills in aquatic environments. This training will enhance your ability to protect environmental quality and meet regulatory obligations.
Course Duration: 4 hours
