DP NMR technology runs from a person-portable battery-powered control unit and provides significantly higher resolution in both the spatial (vertical) dimension and in the time domain of the NMR measurement than previously available NMR technology.

Bioremediation is a sustainable management solution that can reduce both of these contaminants to less toxic species. In our earlier microcosms experiments, we have demonstrated that native microorganisms collected from a site contaminated with chlorate and chromate can lower the concentration of these chemicals in groundwater to acceptable regulatory levels provided sufficient electron donor, nitrogen, and phosphorous are provided. In this study, continuous flow column experiments were performed using soil from the site impacted by both chlorate and chromate in the Province of Manitoba (Canada) and synthetic groundwater amended with acetate, nitrogen, and phosphorous. The objective was to evaluate at a bench scale possibility of in-situ groundwater treatment. Concentrations of chromate and chlorate measured in the columns' effluent water dropped by 86% and 96%, respectively. However, increased biomass and precipitation of trivalent chromium reduced the water flow rate in the columns, a concern for implementing this method as a long-term in-situ remediation solution.</p>","PeriodicalId":55081,"journal":{"name":"Ground Water Monitoring and Remediation","volume":"44 2","pages":"62-71"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gwmr.12643","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140367179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

VI temporal variability has previously been shown to be dependent on the complex interactions of multiple independent variables—meteorological, hydrogeological, and human behavioral. Several meteorological variables, including barometric pressure, wind speed, and rainfall, are linked during tropical and extratropical storm events. High-frequency meteorological and indoor VOC data from a series of seven tropical storms and four extratropical storms were collected at a single industrial building with multiple heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) zones. The storms and sampling zones showed a variety of effects on trichloroethylene (TCE) concentrations in indoor air. In one zone (supply room), increases in TCE concentrations often, but not always, closely coincided with decreasing barometric pressure, sustained wind speeds over 32 km/h (20 mph), and differential pressures indicating subslab to indoor flow. A second zone, in a restroom, did not show a consistent pattern of temporal correlation between meteorological factors and indoor air concentrations. While peak indoor air concentrations may be associated with the passage of cyclonic storms at some sampling locations, this does not appear to be generalizable to all sampling locations. The observed increase in indoor air concentration potentially attributable to these storms is typically less than an order of magnitude and the duration ranges from a day to a week.</p>","PeriodicalId":55081,"journal":{"name":"Ground Water Monitoring and Remediation","volume":"44 2","pages":"101-117"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140369197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Images provide vegetation and soil moisture patterns along the surface route of the corridor for future comparison when the tunneling segments are bored. Analysis of reflectance data revealed subsurface water flow in the Bear Creek-Sand Canyon Creek Study Area. Using UAVs is considered an effective new tool to detect large-scale and discrete environmental conditions, perhaps undocumented or unobservable, via standard mapping tools.
