GeoPro Talks: Why do Toxicity Reference Values (TRVs) Matter at My Contaminated Site?
A fundamental step in risk assessment is establishing what level of chemical contamination is safe. Toxicity reference values (TRVs) represent an exposure dose that people can safely be exposed to without adverse effects. Toxicity reference values are used to derive drinking water and soil quality guidelines, and to calculate hazard quotients (HQs) that determine risk […]
RERUN GeoPro Talks – Understanding PAHs: Get more out of your data, don’t just tabulate – let’s interpret
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) should be treated differently than routine environmental contaminants when measured as part of your environmental investigation. They present with distinctive fingerprints from their sources and move together in the environment as a family of compounds. Therefore, all environmental investigations measuring PAHs should take the time to interpret the PAH results and […]

Environmental Consulting – business or a practice or both? What is involved in the business of consulting? This talk is a brief overview of how we can become better environmental consultants without compromising our values, ethics as well as keeping business aspects in mind.
GeoPro Talks: CFB Comox Firefighter Training Facility PFAS Novel Source Control (with 3-year update)
SLR’s 2021/2022 award winning CFB Comox project implemented novel in-situ and ex-situ PFAS management methods (amendment and thermal treatment, respectively). To reduce PFAS concentrations in downstream site surface water, the highest concentration materials were targeted for management. This presentation will introduce project design and provide an update on environmental conditions three years after implementation.
GeoPro Talk: “Two-eyed Seeing” – Indigenous Engagement
Two-eyed seeing recognizes the strength of Indigenous ways of knowing/learning/teaching and the strength of western ways of knowing/learning/teaching and uses both experiences together toward a common goal. This presentation discusses examples of where a commitment to this approach as part of Indigenous Engagement was essential for successful completion of various environmental and infrastructure projects undertaken […]
