THMG517 – DOT Class 7 | Part II10 Oct 202500:33:10

In this episode, we thought we would smash this all into one episode, but it turned out to be two. In this one, we're going through DOT Class 7, which covers radioactives. Radioactives involve a lot of information. So dig in with us and enjoy.

ObexionFR

ObexionFR is a mobile solution for first responders dealing with lithium battery fires, created by former FDNY Hazmat experts. It uses advanced science to neutralize fires by addressing heat, oxygen, and fuel, quickly containing and extinguishing them while keeping toxic gas levels safe. The process cools the battery, isolates oxygen, and prevents further ignition, providing a reliable tool for challenging battery fire incidents. Check it out.


908 Devices

908 Devices is revolutionizing chemical analysis with its simple handheld devices, addressing some of the most critical problems in vital health and safety applications, such as the fentanyl and illicit drug crisis, toxic carcinogen exposure, and global security threats. First responders use our devices to rapidly and accurately detect, identify, and monitor thousands of chemical hazards, in any form, bulk or trace, at the point of need. For more information visit 908devices.com

THMG492 – Mercury Response with the EPA11 Apr 202500:32:46

We've talked about Mercury before, but we're no experts. We're just two schlubs on the radio, thankfully without video. Oh, wait, that changed. Now we have video. We caught up with Bob Wise, a Mercury guru from Southern California who works for the EPA. We thought, what's better than getting the guy from the EPA on there to provide a different perspective on this whole problem? Take a listen.

THMG491 – Molecular Property Spectroscopy aka MPS04 Apr 202500:29:29

A question led to another question, which reminded Bob of a paper he wrote in college about the molecular property spectroscopically known as the MPS sensor. We decided to dust it off, condense it, and expand on it all in the same episode. Think that's crazy? Take a listen.

THMG465 – Intro to unusual biological laboratories with Jacqui Hardt04 Oct 202400:34:30

We recently reconnected with Jacqui Hardt, who you might remember from episode 136. We bumped into her in Phoenix, and she started sharing all that's happened over the past eight years since her last appearance. We just had to have her back, so we're planning a series of episodes. This one sets the stage, with more to follow soon. I'm really excited to hear her stories. This series is going to be unforgettable.
