The objective of NORDROCS is to address issues on the assessment and risk management of contaminated land and sediment in the context of Nordic conditions. The conference intends to provide a forum for the exchange of information gathered through research and project experience. The conference is targeted at scientists, regulators, consultants, contractors, authorities and other professionals working with contaminated sites and sediments in the Nordic countries and other countries in Northern Europe and around the Baltic Sea.
The NORDROCS conferences are “Crossing Borders” with the goal to share and discuss the way we manage contaminated land within the Nordic countries. Across the borders of the Nordic countries, we have a common interest and openness regarding development inside and outside the Nordic region.

Short Course 1 – Remedial Investigations at PFAS-Impacted Sites
Short Course 1 – Remedial Investigations at PFAS-Impacted Sites
GSI Environmental Inc., USA – Charles J. Newell
NIRAS A/S, DK – Charlotte E. Riis, Anders G. Christensen
Venue: Uppsala Konsert och Kongress
The course will emphasize that remedial investigations at PFAS-impacted sites
require distinct, tailored approaches compared to traditional methods for other
groundwater contaminants. Participants will gain a comprehensive conceptual un-
derstanding and practical knowledge for addressing PFAS contamination, inclu-
ding the importance of site-specific models, the behaviour of PFAS in the environ-
ment, and innovative strategies for characterization and mitigation, especially in
groundwater systems.

Short Course 2 - Best Practices for Applying In Situ Chemical Oxidation: De-
sign Considerations, Application Methods and Monitoring
Evonik – Josephine Molin, Brant Smith
Ramboll – Johanna Moreskog
Venue: Uppsala Konsert och Kongress
During this short course we will discuss the fundamental chemistry of IS-
CO-amendments and the chemical interaction with contaminants, along with
design parameters, dosing calculations, implementation methods, limitations and
monitoring program. We will also discuss the interplay between the conceptual
site model and the remedial design as well as the underlying site characterization
needed for a successful implementation of your ISCO remedy.
