On-site detection of explosives in groundwater with a fiber optic biosensor

Article Abstract:

Researchers analyzed groundwater samples contaminated with trinitrotoluene and hexahydrotrinitrotriazine collected from two military sites in Hermiston, Oregon and Crane, Indiana.

A molecular topology approach to predicting pesticide pollution of groundwater

Article Abstract:

Nonpolluting and polluting compounds can be differentiated with the basis of molecular topology and the use of observations of pesticide occurrence in groundwater in the United States. The application of molecular approaches for understanding pollution at the molecular level to risk assessment and agricultural development is examined.

Remediation at a marine superfund site: surficial sediment PCB congener concentration, composition, and redistribution

Article Abstract:

A long-term monitoring scheme was developed in an effort to evaluate the efficiency of a multistage Superfund remediation program adopted at the New Bedford Harbor to address the site's polychlorinated biphencyl (PCB) contamination problems. The scheme integrates a number of graphical and statistical methods necessary in quantifying the spatial and temporal variability of PCB concentration in the place. Results revealed that low molecular weight PCBs have been transported in farther places as a result of the bioremediation program.
