Technology Assessments, Verifications & Transfers
Technology is the practical use of scientific knowledge to solve problems. Environmental technologies hold the promise of being more effective and less costly than traditional methods. They address the complex environmental problems we face today. Everyday, researchers demonstrate how technology can have profound effects on our lives and in our world.
Technology Assessments |
EPA Risk Management Technology Assessments
provide state-of-the-science knowledge on air, energy, water, and waste & remediation technologies. They summarize what is known about a technology across the research, development, and demonstration continuum, and identify gaps in knowledge. |
Technology Verification |
The ETV Program
verifies the performance of new environmental technologies that have the potential to improve the protection of human health and the environment. ETV accelerates the entrance of these technologies into the domestic and international marketplaces. |
The Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Programwas established in response to the 1986 Superfund Act. SITE materials are specifically developed to aid engineers, scientists, and other remediation professionals in the monitoring, measurement, and remediation of hazardous wastes. |
