This book was released on 1992-08-13 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most present cemeteries were sited without any consideration of the potential risks they may have to the local environment and community. The metals used in coffin-making may gradually weaken into harmful contaminants. These harmful contaminants may mobilize into the groundwater and surrounding soils. According to the literature reviewed, there has been inadequate research carried out on the contamination of groundwater by metals from cemeteries. In light of the aforesaid, the research study aims to assess the mobility of metals from graves that may leach into and contaminate the surrounding soils and groundwater. This study was conducted at the Fontein Street Cemetery in Middelburg (Mpumalanga, South Africa), where 5 boreholes were drilled for the investigation of hydrogeological, geochemical and geological characteristics of the site. The boreholes were monitored for a period of six months, with water samples collected on a monthly basis. Moreover, a total of thirty-eights soil samples and fourty-three water samples were collected for XRD & XRF and ICP-MS analyses, respectively. The analysis of XRD and XRF indicated that the geology of the area is composed of Loskop Formation Sandstones and Dwyka Group Shales, this was also observed on the geological logs of the drilled boreholes. The unsaturated zone of the study site has high concentrations of Zn2+, Rb2+, Sr2+ and Zr2+ which appeared to have not leached into the groundwater. This was primarily because the unsaturated zone of the area is composed of clay-sand material of low porosity. Water results indicated high concentrations of Cl- and Ca2+ from one deep cemetery borehole and high concentrations of SO42- from the stream near the cemetery, the municipal water, shallow cemetery boreholes and the Athlone dam. A hydrocensus was conducted for a comparison of water qualities between on-site and off-site boreholes downgradient to the study area. Upon analysis of the results, no correlation was established between water qualities of on-site and off-site boreholes. High concentrations of SO42- from the stream, Athlone dam, shallow cemetery boreholes and the municipal water may have resulted from contamination of surface water by acid mine drainage from the surrounding mines within the B12D quaternary catchment. Nonetheless, soils below the grave area have high concentrations of metals than those away from the grave area. Accordingly, this proves that burial practices do indeed influence metal concentrations in cemetery soils, albeit it takes longer for them to reach deeper levels and eventually leach into the groundwater.

Download or read book Baseline Risk Assessment of Groundwater Contamination at the Uranium Mill Tailings Site Near Shiprock, New Mexico. Draft written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report evaluates potential impact to public health or the environment resulting from groundwater contamination at the former uranium mill processing site. The tailings and other contaminated material at this site were placed in a disposal cell on the site in 1986 by the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project. Currently, the UMTRA Project is evaluating groundwater contamination. This risk assessment is the first document specific to this site for the Groundwater Project. This risk assessment follows the approach outlined by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The first step is to evaluate groundwater data collected from monitor wells at the site. Evaluation of these data showed that the main contaminants in the floodplain groundwater are arsenic, magnesium, manganese, nitrate, sodium, sulfate, and uranium. The complete list of contaminants associated with the terrace groundwater could not be determined due to the lack of the background groundwater quality data. However, uranium, nitrate, and sulfate are evaluated since these chemicals are clearly associated with uranium processing and are highly elevated compared to regional waters. It also could not be determined if the groundwater occurring in the terrace is a usable water resource, since it appears to have originated largely from past milling operations. The next step in the risk assessment is to estimate how much of these contaminants people would be exposed to if a drinking well were installed in the contaminated groundwater or if there were exposure to surface expressions of contaminated water. Potential exposures to surface water include incidental contact with contaminated water or sediments by children playing on the floodplain and consumption of meat and milk from domestic animals grazed and watered on the floodplain.

This book was released on 2008-12-23 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soils have important roles to play in criminal and environmental forensic science. Since the initial concept of using soil in forensic investigations was mooted by Conan Doyle in his Sherlock Holmes stories prior to real-world applications, this branch of forensic science has become increasingly sophisticated and broad. New techniques in chemical, physical, biological, ecological and spatial analysis, coupled with informatics, are being applied to reducing areas of search by investigators, site identification, site comparison and measurement for the eventual use as evidence in court. Soils can provide intelligence, in assisting the determination of the provenance of samples from artifacts, victims or suspects, enabling their linkage to locations or other evidence. They also modulate change in surface or buried cadavers and hence affect the ability to estimate post-mortem or post-burial intervals, and locate clandestine graves. This interdisciplinary volume explores the conceptual and practical interplay of soil and geoforensics across the scientific, investigative and legal fields. Supported by reviews, case-studies from across the world, and reports of original research, it demonstrates the increasing convergence of a wide range of knowledge. It covers conceptual issues, evidence (from recovery to use in court), geoforensics, taphonomy, as well as leading-edge technologies. The application of the resultant soil forensics toolbox is leading to significant advances in improving crime detection, and environmental and national security.
