Proper management of livestock carcasses following large-scale livestock mortalities protects humans, livestock, and wildlife from chemical and biological hazards; maintains air, water, and soil resources; protects ecological resources and services; and enhances food and agricultural security.

In support of the National Response Framework, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate funds research in collaboration the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA’s) Office of Research and Development, Homeland Security Research Program (HSRP) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to support the proper management of animal carcasses following major environmental incidents.

This 2 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily for chemical engineers and professionals who are interested in learning more about how to properly manage carcasses in an event of a chemical attack.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides a detailed exploration of modern approaches to chemical risk assessment and prioritization in the 21st century. It emphasizes the importance of evaluating thousands of chemicals in commerce through New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), which combine hazard identification, exposure forecasting, and toxicokinetics. The presentation highlights best practices for chemical prioritization using high-throughput screening, biomonitoring data integration, machine learning, and risk-based ranking strategies.

This presentation begins by introducing the challenges in traditional chemical risk assessment and the evolving regulatory landscape. It delves into the use of ToxCast, ExpoCast, and HTTK tools for high-throughput hazard, exposure, and toxicokinetic modeling. Participants will gain insights into IVIVE (in vitro-in vivo extrapolation), demographic and life-stage exposure variations, and Bayesian modeling frameworks like SEEM. Additionally, the presentation covers exposure modeling, data transparency, and the use of publicly available dashboards and R packages to support decision-making. Real-world examples illustrate how machine learning and statistical methods are transforming the future of chemical safety.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is designed for environmental engineers, chemical safety professionals, toxicologists, public health analysts, and regulatory personnel seeking to advance their understanding of chemical risk assessment, prioritize chemical safety testing, and improve public health protection through innovative exposure science.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides insights into the proper analysis of the toxic release inventory data.

The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is a dataset compiled by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It contains information on toxic chemicals handled by many facilities across the United States, including details on quantities of chemicals managed through disposal or other releases, recycling, energy recovery or treatment. The goal of the TRI Program is to empower citizens and other TRI stakeholders through information about how toxic chemicals are managed.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily for chemical engineers and individuals interested in learning about how toxic chemicals are managed and ways to analyze it.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides a basic overview of the elements essential for the development of a sound management program for decentralized wastewater systems that is specifically suited to your community.

One in every four households in the United States relies on an individual onsite or small cluster system to treat wastewater. In far too many cases, these systems are installed and largely forgotten – until problems arise. An effective wastewater management program, if properly executed, can protect public health, preserve valuable water resources, and maintain economic vitality in a community.

To facilitate proper management, EPA published Voluntary National Guidelines for Managing Onsite and Clustered (Decentralized) Wastewater Treatment Systems.

This presentation assists with implementing the guidelines and is intended as a guide for communities that have evaluated a full range of wastewater options and determined that decentralized wastewater treatment is the most cost-effective and appropriate long-term option. It also provides links to extensive resources for more thorough investigation of particular topics or management program elements.

This 2 PDH online interactive presentation is applicable to civil, environmental, and chemical engineers, sanitarians, and others seeking an understanding of the management of onsite and clustered wastewater treatment systems.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides a general overview on the destruction of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) in the United States and abroad.

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, finalized in 1987, is a global agreement to protect the stratospheric ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances. By joining, the Parties commit to phasing out specified ODS, thereby reducing their abundance in the atmosphere and protecting the earth's fragile ozone Layer. On 16th September 2009, the Montreal Protocol and its parent convention, the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, became the first treaties in the history of the United Nations to achieve universal ratification.

This presentation discusses the sources of ODS for destruction in the United States and globally and the best practices for the safe, environmentally sound collection, recovery, transport, and destruction of these substances. In addition, this presentation identifies the technologies that are used to destroy ODS, and the challenges associated with safe destruction of ODS. This presentation also assesses the costs for the ODS waste management process and the primary funding sources for waste management projects.

This 2 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily for environmental, sustainability, industrial, and mechanical engineers, as well as others interested in learning about the best practices for destruction of ODS.

This online engineering PDH video presentation introduces the laws and rules of ethics and professional responsibility governing the practice of engineering in the State of Wisconsin. It also emphasizes on behavior as a professional member of the workforce.

This video presents the provisions of professional conduct from two viewpoints. First, your conduct as a professional engineer with behavior that is unique to engineers such as stamping drawings, signing official or technical documents, preparing estimates for clients or employers, and submitting engineering reports to official agencies. Second, your behavior as a member of the larger workforce where you communicate with team members, follow company policies and procedures, and your overall behavior as part of a workplace community.

Furthermore, this presentation discusses the disciplinary cases and its outcomes in situations where professional engineers have violated the requirements of professional responsibility and ethical conduct – the decisions we make when no one is watching.

This 2 PDH online video presentation is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the State of Wisconsin and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in engineering ethics as a condition of their license renewal. For each renewal period, every licensee must complete thirty (30) professional development hours, at least two (2) of which must be relative to the law and rules professional responsibility, conduct and ethics.
