Air emissions from exposed, contaminated sediments and dredged material

摘要

Contaminated sediments in confined disposal facilities (CDF) are exposed to air leading to the emission of organic compounds, among many others. Laboratory flux experiments were conducted to measure the flux of tracer PAHs and the various physical factors that influence the enission. Continuing this effort, this document describes the effect of sediment reworking of PAH flux. A pilot-scale simulation of a CDF was performed at Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Mississippi. The experimental design and preliminary results of the pilot-scale field simulation are also presented in this work.
