Burlington, Mass., May 15, 2026 — Haley & Aldrich experts will present on PFAS destruction, remedial strategy, vapor intrusion, 1,4-dioxane, and other topics at Battelle’s 2026 Chlorinated Conference, scheduled for May 31-June 4 in Fort Worth, Texas. Haley & Aldrich professionals will participate in platform presentations, panel discussions, poster presentations, and session chair roles throughout the conference, continuing the firm’s strong presence at one of the environmental industry’s leading technical events.
The conference brings together environmental professionals from around the world to share technical advances and lessons learned for investigating and remediating sites affected by chlorinated compounds, PFAS, and emerging contaminants.
“Battelle’s Chlorinated Conference gives Haley & Aldrich an important opportunity to share practical solutions for complex remediation challenges with peers across the industry,” said Murray Einarson, Haley & Aldrich’s contaminated site management service leader. “The 2026 program reflects the breadth of Haley & Aldrich’s work, from PFAS fate and transport and destruction technologies to remediation geology, vapor intrusion, and plume management.”
