The first comprehensive guide to one of today's most innovative
approaches to environmental contamination Natural attenuation is
gaining increasing attention as a nonintrusive, cost-effective
alternative to standard remediation techniques for environmental
contamination. This landmark work presents the first in-depth
examination of the theory, mechanisms, and application of natural
attenuation. Written by four internationally recognized leaders in
this approach, the book describes both biotic and abiotic natural
attenuation processes, focusing on two of the environmental
contaminants most frequently encountered in groundwater--fuels and
chlorinated solvents. The authors draw on a wealth of combined
experience to detail successful techniques for simulating natural
attenuation processes and predicting their effectiveness in the
field. They also show how natural attenuation works in the real
world, using numerous examples and case studies from a wide range
of leading-edge projects nationwide involving fuel hydrocarbons and
chlorinated solvents. Finally, they discuss the evaluation and
assessment of natural attenuation and explore the design of
long-term monitoring programs.
An indispensable reference for anyone working in environmental remediation, Natural Attenuation of Fuels and Chlorinated Solvents in the Subsurface is essential reading for scientists and engineers in a range of industries, as well as state and federal environmental regulators, and professors and graduate students in environmental or chemical engineering.
