Environmental Technology Expo
at the
EPA Science Forum 2008
Innovative Technologies - Key to Environmental and Economic Progress
Atrium Hall, Concourse Level
Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center
Washington, DC
May 20-22, 2008

The 2008 EPA Science Forum will emphasize the role technology plays in a maintaining a healthy and prosperous global environment. A key focus of the 2008 Forum will be the Environmental Technology Expo. The Expo will assemble an impressive display of cutting-edge, innovative technologies currently used in protecting our environment. Pollutant monitoring units; treatment systems for air, water and soil; environmental databases, decision support tools, and modeling systems; mobile monitoring and remediation units; and other environmental technologies will be displayed.

Technology displays will be available for viewing on all three days of the Forum and during the Environmental Technology Expo Session on Tuesday, May 20, 2008 from 5:30 to 8:00 PM.

Technology displays will be presented in the following three categories. Click on the category title to view the list of technologies that will be displayed. Technology abstracts will be posted as they are available and the technology poster presentations will be posted on this web page after the conclusion of the Forum.
