Organic Contaminant Transport in Ground Water, Surface Water, and Surface Water Sediments: Year 1 Progress Report

摘要

Questions concerning the transport and fate of contaminants in the environment have typically been limited to single compounds. Hazardous waste disposal facilities, chemical plants, oil refineries, etc., however, typically produce complex waste streams which may contact groundwater or surface waters. The study gives results on movement through ground and surface water of a complex mixture of organic compounds emanating from a wood-treatment facility located adjacent to the Laramie River in Laramie, Wyoming.
