Barrier Systems for Environmental Contaminant Containment and Treatment
Calvin C. Chien, Hilary I. Inyang, ...

CRC, 2005

Containment and permeable reactive barriers have come full circle as an acceptable environmental control technology during the past 30 years. As interest shifted back toward containment in the 1990s, the industry found itself relying largely on pre-1980s technology. Fortunately, in the past 10 years important advances have occurred in several areas of containment, most notably in the area of permeable barriers. A balanced presentation of what is ...

Flow and Contaminant Transport in Fractured Rock
Jacob Bear, C-F. Tsang, ...

Academic Press, 1993

In the past two or three decades, fractured rock domains have received increasing attention not only in reservoir engineering and hydrology, but also in connection with geological isolation of radioactive waste. Locations in both the saturated and unsaturated zones have been under consideration because such repositories are sources of heat and potential sources of groundwater contamination. Thus, in addition to the transport of mass of fluid ...

Contaminant Hydrogeology

4 reviews
C. W. Fetter

Waveland Pr Inc, 2008

Contaminant Hydrogeology
Excellent book for introduction into contaminant hydrogeology; however, not very detailed on groundwater modeling and remediation. The section on Mass Transport is very easy to understand and well layed out. Would like to have seen more examples.

At the same time, the importance of method validation, proficiency testing, quality ...

Sediment and Contaminant Transport in Surface Waters
Wilbert J. Lick

CRC, 2008

Understand and Address Major Environmental Threats to Our Water Contaminated bottom sediments and their negative impacts on water quality are a major problem in surface waters throughout the United States as well as in many other parts of the world. Even after elimination of the primary contaminant sources, these bottom sediments will be a main source of contaminants for many years to come. In order to determine environmentally-effective ...

Environmental Forensics: Contaminant Specific Guide
Robert D. Morrison, Brian L. Murphy

Academic Press, 2005

Environmental forensics is the application of scientific techniques for the purpose of identifying the source and age of a contaminant. Over the past several years, this study has been expanding as a course of study in academia, government and commercial markets. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are among the governmental agencies that utilize ...

Contaminants in the Subsurface: Source Zone Assessment and Remediation
Committee on Source Removal of Contaminants in the Subsurface, National Research Council

National Academies Press, 2005

At hundreds of thousands of commercial, industrial, and military sites across the country, subsurface materials including groundwater are contaminated with chemical waste. The last decade has seen growing interest in using aggressive source remediation technologies to remove contaminants from the subsurface, but there is limited understanding of (1) the effectiveness of these technologies and (2) the overall effect of mass removal on groundwater ...

Trace Elements as Contaminants and Nutrients: Consequences in Ecosystems and Human Health
M. N. V. Prasad

Wiley-Interscience, 2008

Access state-of-the-art research about trace element contamination and its impact on human health in Trace Elements as Contaminants and Nutrients: Consequences in Ecosystems and Human Health . In this ground-breaking guide, find exhaustive evidence of trace element contamination in the environment with topics like the functions and essentiality of trace metals, bioavailability and uptake biochemistry, membrane biochemistry and transport ...

Food Contaminants: Mycotoxins and Food Allergens (Acs Symposium Series)

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

Mycotoxins are secondary fungal metabolites. Several toxigenic fungi are pathogenic to cereal crops. Mycotoxins encompass a wide range of compounds, several of which have been shown to cause disease in domestic animals and, less frequently, in humans. The toxicology, prevention & control, and analytical methods are highlighted. Toxicology is represented by measurement of aflatoxin-DNA adducts as biomarkers of long-term risk of disease in people, ...
