EPA’s Environmental Sampling and Analytical Methods (ESAM) for Environmental Remediation and Recovery
Citation:
Hall, K. EPA’s Environmental Sampling and Analytical Methods (ESAM) for Environmental Remediation and Recovery . Presented at EPA Homeland Security Collaborative Network Webinar, Cincinnati, OH, January 20, 2022.
Impact/Purpose:
This presentation focuses on research and tools available online in EPA’s ESAM Tool to help support a response to a contamination incident. ESAM is meant to be used by staff out in the field developing sampling plans, collecting samples, and transferring them to the labs, as well as by EPA staff in the labs that have to process and analyze those samples. EPA built this program to be an all-encompassing sampling resource from start to finish to facilitate a coordinated response to a chemical, radiochemical, biotoxin or pathogen contamination incident. It is housed on EPA's website as a one-stop shop to support environmental remediation and recovery.
