Classes of Pollutants
• What is a pollutant? Give me some
characteristics of a pollutant.
• Determining whether something is a
pollutant is not a simple question!
![Page 6: The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants in … › cip › researcher › 6t5h7p00000ixpa5... · 2020-05-13 · The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060322/5f0d6c647e708231d43a4863/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Classes of Pollutants
• Organic
– Infections agents
– Petroleum
contamination
(BTEX, TPH)
– Chlorinated solvents
(TCE, PCE, etc)
– PCBs (electrical
transformers)
– Pesticides/Herbicides
• Inorganic
– Heavy metals (As,
Pb, Hg, Cr, etc)
• These can be
naturally occurring!
– Nutrient pollution
(NO3-, PO4
2-)
– Greenhouse gases
(CO2, CH4, N2O)
![Page 7: The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants in … › cip › researcher › 6t5h7p00000ixpa5... · 2020-05-13 · The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060322/5f0d6c647e708231d43a4863/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Classes of Pollutants
• There are a few uncommon classes
of pollutants:
– Radionucleides
– Thermal pollution
– Particulate matter / asbestos
– Mold
– Noise/Light pollution
![Page 8: The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants in … › cip › researcher › 6t5h7p00000ixpa5... · 2020-05-13 · The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060322/5f0d6c647e708231d43a4863/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How do pollutants affect you?

How do pollutants affect you?
This is a map of a GW
plume caused by a leak
at a gas station in Long
Island.
http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/HAC/PHA/metrogas/mgs_p2.html
990 people within 1-mile
were found to have been
drinking water containing
MTBE, toluene, xylenes,
TCE or TCA for 1 year
without knowing it!

Air pollution
• How does pollution get in our air?
• Power plants and cars are the two main
sources of pollutants in outdoor air
– Heavy metals (Pb & Hg)
– NOx & SOx
– Particulate Matter
– Greenhouse gases
– Ground level ozone

Transport of air pollution
• Air pollution
goes where
the air goes!
• The people
who breathe
the pollution
may not be
the ones
creating it! http://www.ct.gov/dep/lib/dep/air/ozone/oztransport.pdf
![Page 14: The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants in … › cip › researcher › 6t5h7p00000ixpa5... · 2020-05-13 · The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060322/5f0d6c647e708231d43a4863/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Indoor Air Pollution
• How does air pollution get inside buildings?
• Many sources of indoor air pollution – HVAC
– Mold
– VOCs
– Pesticides
– Smoking
– Paint
– Cleaning
products
– Idling cars
![Page 16: The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants in … › cip › researcher › 6t5h7p00000ixpa5... · 2020-05-13 · The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060322/5f0d6c647e708231d43a4863/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Indoor Air Pollution
• Has anyone ever had their home or
basement tested for radon?
– How does radon get into your house?
• Many substances can volatilize from
soil or GW into buildings (Volatile
Organic Compounds or VOCs)
– These compounds can easily migrate
through building foundations
– What happens when these enter
“energy efficient” buildings?

• Contaminants dissolved in GW flow
where the GW flows
– Soil particle size distribution
– Topography
– Presence of surface water bodies
• It is critical to understand both the
direction and velocity of GW flow
• How do contaminants interact with
the soil? http://www.caes.uga.edu/applications/publications/files/html/B1217/images/B1217-4.JPG

Solid/Liquid Interactions
• As contaminants move with GW, they
interact with the soil
• The more strongly a contaminant
interacts with soil, the slower it will move
![Page 30: The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants in … › cip › researcher › 6t5h7p00000ixpa5... · 2020-05-13 · The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060322/5f0d6c647e708231d43a4863/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Presentation Outline
• Classes of pollutants
• Pollution of outdoor and indoor air
• Pollution mobility in soil and
groundwater
• Pollutant retention and removal
![Page 31: The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants in … › cip › researcher › 6t5h7p00000ixpa5... · 2020-05-13 · The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060322/5f0d6c647e708231d43a4863/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Remedial Technologies
• Pump & Treat
Drill wells into the cont. GW.
Pump out GW, pass it
through a system, release it.
Need to measure the
“capture zone” and ensure it
gets the entire plume.
![Page 32: The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants in … › cip › researcher › 6t5h7p00000ixpa5... · 2020-05-13 · The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060322/5f0d6c647e708231d43a4863/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Remedial Technologies
• Dig & Haul
Some cont. can’t be treated
and can only be disposed of.
Jobs can be small…
…or large. Dewatering can be
expensive if you are below the
water table.
Only 100% sure rem. method.
![Page 33: The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants in … › cip › researcher › 6t5h7p00000ixpa5... · 2020-05-13 · The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060322/5f0d6c647e708231d43a4863/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Remedial Technologies
• Bioremediation
• Microbes don’t work for free! You
must provide food (carbon) and an
electron acceptor (usually oxygen).
![Page 34: The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants in … › cip › researcher › 6t5h7p00000ixpa5... · 2020-05-13 · The Transport, Retention, and Remediation of Contaminants](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060322/5f0d6c647e708231d43a4863/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Remedial Technologies
• Chem Ox
• Inject a highly reactive substance
into GW and let it break down cont.
• Sounds simple…
