Book Investigations of Techniques for Purging Ground Water Monitoring Wells and Sampling Ground Water for Volatile Organic Compounds

Download or read book Investigations of Techniques for Purging Ground Water Monitoring Wells and Sampling Ground Water for Volatile Organic Compounds written by V. Maltby and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experiment designed to detect and quantify contamination of simulated ground-water samples with stagnant water in a monitoring well found that an average of about 2 to 4% of the water pumped from locations above the screen and an average of about 1% of the water pumped from within the screen of the monitoring well came from the stagnant water above the pump inlet even when effects of drawdown were precluded. All runs showed peaks of contamination up to 8% or higher. The amount of contamination is highly variable over a short time frame. An experiment to identify the effects of the sampling device and the tendency of a compound to evaporate from water solution on the loss of the compound during the ground-water sampling process revealed that the potential for losses rises as the tendency to evaporate from solution increases, and that up to 30% loss can occur under certain circumstances. Less than 10% loss is more typical with the techniques normally used for such sampling. Little indication of differences between commonly used sampling devices was found.

Book Petroleum Contaminated Soils

Download or read book Petroleum Contaminated Soils written by Paul T. Kostecki and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1989-09-30 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These three volumes provide valuable information to help bring rational and scientifically feasible solutions to petroleum contaminated soils. State-of-the-art information on both technical and regulatory issues is covered, including environmental fate, health effects, risk assessment and remedial alternatives. They show why petroleum contaminated soils are a problem - and propose solutions for that problem. These books are an excellent reference for regulatory personnel and environmental consultants at all levels.

Book Soil Gas Surveying at Low level Radioactive Waste Sites

Download or read book Soil Gas Surveying at Low level Radioactive Waste Sites written by and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil gas sampling is a useful screening technique for determining whether volatile organic compounds are present at low-level radioactive waste burial sites. The technique was used at several DOE sites during the DOE Environmental Survey to determine the presence and extent of volatile organic compound contamination. The advantages of the soil gas sampling are that near real time data can be obtained, no excavation is required, safety concerns are relatively minor, costs are relatively low, and large amounts of data can be obtained rapidly on the contaminants that may pose the greatest threat to groundwater resources. The disadvantages are that the data are difficult to interpret and relate to soil concentrations and environmental standards. This paper discusses the experiences of INEL sampling and analysis personnel, the advantages and disadvantages of the technique, and makes recommendations for improving the sampling and analytical procedures.

Book Fundamentals of Groundwater

Download or read book Fundamentals of Groundwater written by Franklin W. Schwartz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-01-31 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thoroughly updated classic on the fundamentals of groundwater The second edition of Fundamentals of Groundwater delivers an expert discussion of the fundamentals of groundwater in the hydrologic cycle and applications to contemporary problems in hydrogeology. The theme of the book is groundwater, broadly defined, and it covers the theory and practice of groundwater—from basic principles of physical and chemical hydrogeology to their application in traditional and emerging areas of practice. This new edition contains extensive revisions, including new discussions of human impacts on aquifers, and strategies and concepts for sustainable development of groundwater. It also covers the theory of groundwater flow—including concepts of hydraulic head and the Darcy equation—and ground water/surface water interactions, as well as geochemistry and contamination. Readers will also find A thorough introduction to the techniques of water resource investigations and regional groundwater flow Comprehensive explorations of groundwater chemistry and its applications in regional characterization and assessments of health impacts Practical discussions of groundwater contamination and water sustainability more generally Fulsome treatments of newly emerged contaminants, like PFAS, pathogens, agricultural contaminants, methane, arsenic, uranium, and redox processes Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in hydrogeology, groundwater, geoscience, applied geoscience, and groundwater and contaminant processes, Fundamentals of Groundwater also benefits environmental consultants, geochemists, engineers, and geologists.

Book Methods of Soil Analysis Part 4

Download or read book Methods of Soil Analysis Part 4 written by Jacob H. Dane and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 1744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best single reference for both the theory and practice of soil physical measurements, Methods, Part 4 adopts a more hierarchical approach to allow readers to easily find their specific topic or measurement of interest. As such it is divided into eight main chapters on soil sampling and statistics, the solid, solution, and gas phases, soil heat, solute transport, multi-fluid flow, and erosion. More than 100 world experts contribute detailed sections.

Book Contaminant Hydrogeology

Download or read book Contaminant Hydrogeology written by C. W. Fetter and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tremendous progress has been made in the field of remediation technologies since the second edition of Contaminant Hydrogeology was published two decades ago, and its content is more important than ever. Recognizing the extensive advancement and research taking place around the world, the authors have embraced and worked from a larger global perspective. Boving and Kreamer incorporate environmental innovation in studying and treating groundwater/soil contamination and the transport of those contaminants while building on Fetter’s original foundational work. Thoroughly updated, expanded, and reorganized, the new edition presents a wealth of new material, including new discussions of emerging and potential contaminant sources and their characteristics like deep well injection, fracking fluids, and in situ leach mining. New sections cover BET and Polanyi adsorption potential theory, vapor transport theory, the introduction of the Capillary and Bond Numbers, the partitioning interwell tracer testing technique for investigating NAPL sites, aerial photographic interpretation, geophysics, immunological surveys, high resolution vertical sampling, flexible liner systems, groundwater tracers, and much more. Contaminant Hydrogeology is intended as a textbook in upper level courses in mass transport and contaminant hydrogeology, and remains a valuable resource for professionals in both the public and private sectors.
