In this episode of PPM Simplifies, Todd Perry is joined by Ben Clabaugh, an environmental professional from PPM’s Pensacola Office, to explore innovative techniques for Brownfield remediation. They dive into what Brownfield remediation is, its community benefits, and discuss five cutting-edge techniques: Mycoremediation, advanced in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO), phytoremediation 2.0, nanoparticles, and the use of AI and machine learning. Ben highlights the exciting potential of nanoparticles and the growing efficiency of these methods compared to traditional approaches. He also shares practical advice on employing these methods, including starting small, working backward from goals, and collaborating with regulators and stakeholders.
