Predicting Radon Transport by Vegetation
Establishment of a vegetative cover on waste sites containing **2**2**6Ra (Radium) may provide conduits for transport of **2**2**2Rn (Radon) out of the waste into the above-ground environment...
Combustion Sources of Residential Air Pollution: An Overview
Combustion by-products are a major source of indoor air pollution and have been measured in homes at levels above typical outdoor concentrations, and at levels which approach or exceed...
Development of Data Quality Indicators for Indoor Air Pollution Measurements
Indoor air quality measurements pose a unique problem for the application of traditional Quality Assurance/Quality Control approaches. The lack of reference methods and materials in some...
Special Water Treatment in New Jersey
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) performed a study on 'special water treatment'. The main goal of the project was to assess in detail...
Integration of EPA Guidelines Air Quality Models with Human Exposure/Risk Estimation Procedures
Techniques, based on dispersion models which are currently available, for performing population and maximum individual exposure and risk assessments due to ambient air emissions are described....
Audits & Analyses?New Jersey's Approach
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is responsible for implementing environmental policy and administering a regulatory structure based on reliable research and monitoring....
Full-Scale Automation of an SBR Wastewater Treatment Facility
Due to advantages offered by discontinuous wastewater processing, considerable attention has been given to the use of sequencing batch reactor (SBR). This paper will examine the implementation...
Removal of Radon and Uranium from a water supply
The removal of Radon and Radium from drinking water with the help of granulated activated carbon (GAC) adsorption was investigated. A packed bed column was used for the purpose. It has...
Health Effects,Risk Assessment and Guidance for Indoor Radon
Unlike many inorganic elements, radionuclides have no nutritional value. Radionuclides are carcinogenic and uranium is also known to be non-carcinogenic as well. This paper is primarily...
Treatment Facilities and Costs for the Removal of Radon from Ground Water Supplies
Two methods for removal of Radon from drinking water are considered: activated carbon adsorption and packed tower aeration. Although both granular activated carbon (GAC) and packed tower...
Current Status of Flue GasDesulfurization in the United States
Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems have been in existence in the United States for only 17 years but they have made a tremendous impact in the operation of utility plants. At present,...
On the Ship's Waterways Passing Through Bridges
This paper reports on a study of bridge openings that serve as waterways, in view of the analysis of ship collision accidents. For the purpose of this study, cases of ship collision accidents...
Central Arizona Project Startup
The Central Arizona Project is a water conveyance scheme, lifting and conveying Colorado River water from Lake Havasu on the Colorado River 190 miles to Phoenix and another 150 miles to...
Corps of Engineers Automation of Real-Time Water Control Management
Automation of real-time water control management activities has enabled the Corps to keep pace with an ever increasing workload in a time of fiscal constraint and reduced manpower. Where...
On-Site Microcomputer Control of a Combined Sewer Overflow Diversion Structure
This paper describes the design of an inexpensive system for controlling combined sewer overflows using on-site equipment (raingauges, flow gauges, automatic gates, and microcomputers)....
Computer Aided River Basin Management in the Alps
The present paper outlines progress in developing river basin management potential through joint research on several Alpine River Systems including the Avisio, Brenta, and Cordevole. Applications...
The Role of Local Government in Water Quality Management
To meet the challenge of providing safe drinking water at a reasonable cost, local governments, together with water utilities, must do more than merely fund the implementation of state...
What About the Point-of-Use?
Point-of-use (POU) granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment devices are being installed more frequently on community water sytems and on private wells. This article describes carbon filter...
Automated Control for Central Arizona Project Distribution Systems
Computer based automatic control for three extensive open channel water distribution systems is described. Radio telemetry allows a central computer to execute control logic at individual...
Algorithms for Automatic Control of Diversion Dams
The application of local automatic control for the releases from a diversion dam that has intermittent river inflow is limited. For this case, it is better to install a remote monitoring...
