Contamination

Fully updated and expanded into two volumes, the new edition of Groundwater Contamination explains in a comprehensive way the sources for groundwater contamination, the regulations governing it, and the technologies for abating it. Volume 1 covers all major contaminants and explains the hydrology and data used to determine the extent of pollution. Volume 2 discusses aquifer management, including technologies to control and stabilize multiple influxes into the water table. This volume outlines strategies for stormwater control and groundwater restoration. A number of case histories on site analysis and remediation based on DOE and state documents are included. Among the many new features of this edition are a full discussion of risk assessment, the preparation of groundwater protection plans, and references linking the text to over 2,300 water-related Web sites.

Trois ans après la catastrophe nucléaire de la centrale de Fukushima Daiichi, une autre catastrophe se profile. Sanitaire celle là. Les premiers cas de cancer sont apparus. 26 déjà, tous chez des enfants de 0 à 18 ans. Plus d’une trentaine de cas sont suspects, et des dizaines de milliers d’enfants n’ont pas encore été testés. Le gouvernement tente de minimiser l’ampleur du drame. Mais les familles s’angoissent, et des mères sont en colère. La contamination s’étend, au-delà du Japon…

This book sheds new light on contaminant transport in karst aquifers and the public health implications of contaminated karst groundwater. The papers included were presented at a conference held in early 2016 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and range from lengthy reviews on contaminant transport mechanisms to short articles summarizing research findings.
