Publisher description
This comprehensive reference describes investigations of the fate of toxic
chemicals emanating from hazardous waste sites and contaminating groundwater,
discussing the hydrogeochemistry at US, Canadian, Australian, and German sites
to reflect the different approaches used around the world. Written by over 30 international experts in the field, "Groundwater
Contamination and Analysis at Hazardous Waste Sites": presents case histories
spanning 30 years of activities by the United States Geological Survey's
Organics in Water project, including studies of pesticide, munition, and wood
preservative residues contaminating groundwater; outlines the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency's SW-846 methods of analysis for groundwater
samples taken at hazardous waste sites; details the analytical requirements for
qualitative surveys, regulatory compliance, and research programs; examines the
use of statistics at site investigations and waste disposal facilities as well
as data interpretation techniques such as multivariate plots; covers the
application of a portable gas chromatograph in studying a vapor-phase plume of
trichloroethylene, giving tips about problems that may lead to variability in
the data; and explores dense nonaqueous-phase liquid dissolution using Raoult's
law, biotransformation of the dissolved constituents, and their sorption to
aquifer materials. Extensively illustrated with more than 250 figures, tables, and display
equations, "Groundwater Contamination and Analysis at Hazardous Waste Sites" is
a practical tool for pollution control and environmental engineers,
hydrogeologists, analytical chemists, and upper-level undergraduate and
graduate students in these disciplines. This reference describes investigations of the fate of toxic chemicals
emanating from hazardous waste sites and contaminating groundwater. It includes
discussions of the hydrogeochemistry at US, Canadian, Australian and German
sites to reflect the different approaches used around the world.
