Characterization of Anaerobic Microbial Consortium Response to Thiol-Reactive Compounds
The activity of anaerobes in wastewater treatment processes can be limited when a toxicant enters the system. For certain toxicants, along with the decrease in metabolic activity, an efflux...
Urban Runoff Toxicity
Toxicity is controlled by the magnitude/concentration of the contaminant produced in an exposure, the duration of the exposure, and the frequency with which exposures are repeated. When...
Dredging Up Toxic Sediments
Lots of people like to catch their fish and eat them too, but that's a dangerous proposition when they're fishing in water polluted with highly toxic pesticides....
Geophysical Exploration for Engineering and Environmental Investigations
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has prepared this Manual,
Practice Periodical of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste Management

Critical Issues in the Monitoring and Control of Toxic Air Contaminants at POTWs
Todays challenge at Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) is to assess and reduce the environmental risk posed by toxic air contaminants (TACs). This paper attempts to identify the critical...
Beneficial Aspects of Flood and Rain in Countries Where the Drinking Water is Naturally Contaminated with Fluoride Where Fluorosis is a Major Public Health Problem
Floods, although considered destructive, have beneficial aspects too. This report is about one such instance where flood waters are considered extremely beneficial in countries where drinking...
A Framework for Sanitation and Health Risk Assessment
This paper summarizes some historical, cultural, and operational responses to risk. Zero risk and zero pollution ideas developed as arguably escapist reactions to stresses of economic,...
Water Quality Impacts of Dredging and Disposal Operations in Boston Harbor
The Massachusetts Port Authority is presently planning a navigation improvement project in the port of Boston, consisting of dredging the 10.7 m (35 ft) deep channels and berths in the...
Assessing Water Quality Impacts of Stormwater Runoff
Current water quality monitoring of non-point source runoff typically involves periodically measuring a laundry list of chemicals in the runoff waters. This approach, while satisfying...
River Dnister Pollution with Toxic Waste as a Result of Accident at Potassium Fertilizers Factory
River Dnister has a length of 1,352 km. Its spring is situated in Carpathian Mountains at the height of more than 900 m. Dnister runs across the territory of Ukraine and Moldova Republic...
Monitor Well Design, Installation, and Documentation at Hazardous and/or Toxic Waste Sites
This manual provides the minimum elements for consideration in the design, installation, and documentation of monitor well placement at projects known or suspected to contain chemically...
Toxic Air Emissions from Wastewater Treatment Facilities
An Experiment in Mobile Robotic Cooperation
This paper describes the results of an experiment in real mobile robot cooperation which utilizes a fully distributed, cooperative software mechanism we have previously developed in simulation....
Federal Cleanups: Good News from Bad
Since the end of the Cold War the news about the Department of Energy has been grim: Thousands of acres poisoned with radioactive and toxic wastes, massive cleanup cost overruns due to...
Modeling Initial Mixing of Ocean Wastewater Discharges to Develop Toxic Effluent Limitations
The UM model, released by USEPA in 1992, was utilized to simulate the initial mixing of a discharge to the Atlantic Ocean near Ocean City, New Jersey. The study included field verification...
Innovative Treatment of Soil Contamination: Radiolytic Destruction of Dioxin and Co-Contaminants by Cobalt-60
Recent work in our laboratory has demonstrated that gamma radiolysis is a feasible method by which 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) can be converted to products of negligible...
Assessing Stormwater Impacts
The evaluation of stormwater effects to watershed ecosystems must adopt an integrated approach due to the inherent complexity of assessing such environments, arising from the vulnerability...
The Causticity of Accelerator for Shotcrete and its Impairment on Strength of Shotcrete
How on earth is the toxic and caustic injury of accelerator for shotcrete to operators and animals? How about its impairment on strength of shotcrete? The paper gives some reports and...
