Повний текст джерелаNew regulations concerning the management of underground storage tanks (USTs) have resulted in increased awareness of environmental contamination resulting from leaking USTs. The objective of the typical underground storage tank investigation is to determine if any subsurface contamination has occurred as a result of tank or product line leakage, fuel spills or overfills. Soil contamination at underground storage tank sites is usually discovered during the removal and replacement of USTs. Techniques that can be used to detect the presence of soil contamination adjacent to existing USTs include soil vapor analysis, exploratory boring, and soil and ground water sampling. The lateral and vertical extent of contamination must be determined at any site which contains detectable quantities of contamination. Two common methods for determining the extent of contamination are over-excavation and borehole drilling and sampling. Boring design and location considerations include number of borings, borehole depth and spacing, and site sub -surface conditions. Differentiation between perched sub -surface water and aquifers is critical. Once an appropriate boring plan has been established, then a sampling and analysis plan must be adopted that meets the needs of the particular investigation. The determination of the extent of contamination at an underground storage tank site is the first step leading to site closure and remediation.

Повний текст джерелаRemedial techniques for sub-surface soil and water contamination are dependent on the lateral and vertical extent of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination and the type of petroleum hydrocarbons which have been released into the sub-surface. Specific remedial technologies are required for diesel fuel and heavy oils compared to the more volatile gasoline compounds. Available remedial technologies for vadose zone contamination include excavation and treatment; soil vapor extraction and possible vapor burning; bioremediation; and chemical treatment. Remedial technologies for ground-water contamination include water recovery, contaminant volatilization, carbon adsorption, bioremediation and water reinjection. Specialized apparatuses are utilized when petroleum hydrocarbon product floating on the water table surface must be separated from the ground water. A number of hydrologic considerations must be evaluated prior to any remediation scenario. These considerations include geologic characterization of the sub-surface soil matrix, and aquifer.

Повний текст джерелаThe University of Arizona, under a contract from the Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI), investigated water contamination problems in six Southwestern States -- Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. A variety of surface and groundwater problems were encountered, including 1) high total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations, 2) contamination by organic compounds, 3) contamination due to high concentrations of inorganic compounds, 4) biological contamination, 5) radioactive contamination, and 6) toxic and hazardous waste disposal. Literature and computer searches provided an overview of existing problems, but no central depository of information on water contamination problems was found to exist. Specific information was obtained from federal, state, and local government agencies concerned with water quality. Data were collected via telephone interviews, letters, and in- person office visits. Limitations inherent in these data collection methods included, 1) not knowing if all the correct contacts were made concerning a specific problem or site, 2) inability to ascertain whether all contacts were willing and /or able to supply complete, accurate, and updated information, 3) possible bypassing of important data sources, and 4) delays in receiving reports and materials by mail from telephone contacts. Findings indicate that many localities in the Southwest have water contamination problems in some form; more than sixty sites have been described to date.

Повний текст джерелаThe amount of rainfall received in the first few weeks following herbicide application is crucial in assessing the extent of ground water contamination. In 1992, fewer rainfall events occurred after the application as compared to 1993, so metribuzin leached slowly. In 1992, it appears that subirrigation reduced ground water contamination by a factor of 10 through enhanced degradation and the greater effect of dilution. However, the role of subirrigation in reducing the metribuzin contamination of ground water was negligible in 1993 due to considerable leaching soon after the application.
The second project was conducted in an organic soil in St-Patrice-de-Sherrington (Van Winden farm) where the herbicide prometryn was studied. Surface irrigation with a controlled water table was also used as a water table management system. One experimental unit was used for each of the three treatments (subirrigation, surface irrigation and subsurface drainage).
The herbicide application rate was greater at the Van Winden farm than in the Laurin farm (5.5 kg/ha versus 1.0 kg/ha). However, a higher adsorption coefficient of the organic soil minimized the leaching process. Ground water contamination was less extensive in the organic deposit. The effect of subirrigation in reducing ground water contamination was significant when the water table was shallow. Prometryn degradation was relatively slow during the summer. Moreover, significant amounts of prometryn carried-over into the soil after the winter season, so it appears to be a quite persistent herbicide in our climate.

Повний текст джерелаReleases of perchloroethylene (PCE) from dry cleaners pose a threat to groundwater quality. An assessment was performed of the Niles Cone Groundwater Basin to determine its vulnerability to PCE contamination from both historic and more recently operating dry cleaners. Sensitivity assessments of the Basin's two subbasins were performed using a modification of the DRASTIC Index Method, whereby the hydrogeological variables of depth to water, aquifer media, vadose zone media, and soil drainage classification were represented by a range of sensitivity categories and ratings assigned to each range. A source assessment was performed by identifying the locations of historic and presently operating dry-cleaning plants and assigning a threat ranking to each based on the approximate years in which the four generations of dry-cleaning machinery were introduced. Using ArcGIS, the sensitivity assessments and the source assessment were mapped, and the source assessment was superimposed over the sensitivity maps to create vulnerability maps of the two subbasins. The most sensitive area of the Below Hayward Fault subbasin in the forebay area near the Hayward Fault is due to a higher proportion of coarse-grained aquifer and vadose zone media and a thinner to absent aquitard due to deposition from the Alameda Creek. The existence of dry cleaners of higher threat makes this an area that is vulnerable to PCE contamination.

More than 75 million people in the Bengal Delta of eastern India and Bangladesh are exposed to drinking water with dangerously high arsenic (As) concentrations; the worst case of environmental poisoning in human history. Despite recognition of dangers posed to chronic exposure to drinking water with elevated As, its biogeochemical cycle is inadequately constrained in groundwater flow systems due to its complex redox chemistry and microbially-mediated transformations. Arsenic concentrations in Bengal Delta sediments are comparable to global averages, but its highly heterogeneous spatial distribution (on scales of meters to kilometers) in sediments and groundwaters is poorly understood. Though many research efforts have targeted understanding this heterogeneity in Bangladesh, less work has been done in eastern India. Murshidabad (23°56.355‘N, 88°16.156‘E), an eastern district in West Bengal, India, where groundwaters are highly As-affected (~4000 μg/l), was chosen as our study area. Research objectives were: (1) characterize sediment cores (mineralogically, geochemically) and groundwaters (hydrochemically, isotopically) in areas with contrasting As concentrations—west (low-As) and east (high-As) of river Bhagirathi, a major distributary of Ganges flowing through the heart of Murshidabad; (2) describe and understand the extent of spatial variability, laterally and vertically, of dissolved As concentrations in shallow (< 60 m) aquifers, comparing sediment core chemistry to water chemistry; (3) identify source(s) of aquifer recharge and (4) role(s) of inorganic carbon within the aquifer to understand the bioavailability and mobilization of As from sediments to groundwaters. Mineralogical differences between high-As (grey) and low-As (orange-brown) sediments, were the presence of greater amounts of micas, Fe- and Mg-rich clays, amphiboles, carbonates, and apatite in high-As sediments; these were virtually absent from low-As sediments. In high-As areas, As was associated with amorphous and poorly-crystalline Fe-oxyhydroxide phases and labile (specifically-sorbed) phases, especially where Fe(II):Fe[subscript]T was high in the sediments. High-As groundwaters had high As(III):As[subscript]T, iron, bicarbonate, phosphate, and ammonium, and low concentrations of chloride and sulfate. Dry season precipitation was probably the main source of aquifer recharge; lighter values of [superscript]13C in dissolved inorganic carbon resulted from oxidation of natural organic matter. This study points to an idea that both microbially-mediated oxidation-reduction and competitive ion-exchange processes occurring in shallow aquifers of Murshidabad drive As mobilization and sequestration by aquifer sediments.

Повний текст джерелаUrban runoff discharge is today identified a major source of surface water impairment. In recent years, on-site stormwater control, in small and relatively simple vegetated systems, providing volume reduction through infiltration or evapotranspiration, has become increasingly popular due to the inability of conventional drainage systems to limit the amount of stormwater and pollutant directed to the environment. While such practices clearly offer opportunities to mitigate the adverse effects of urban runoff, their performance remains insufficient and is yet not completely understood. The main purpose of this Ph.D. thesis is therefore to investigate the relation between the hydrological behaviour of these source-control systems and pollutant removal efficiencies so as to provide design tools or guidelines that support practitioners in the implementation of efficient stormwater management practices.Current stormwater management practices are first examined on the basis of a literature review of various guidelines or regulatory documents so as to identify the strategies that may be promoted for on-site pollution control, in France or abroad. This analysis indicates that recommendations can be quite variable depending on the country or the community and do not systematically reflect on-site pollution control objectives, which may result in the implementation of inappropriate stormwater management systems.A modelling system based on the representation of a pervious facility collecting runoff and pollutant loads generated over a small urban catchment, allowing the simulation of different scenarios in terms of urban surfaces characteristics and source-control system design, for long rainfall periods, is later developed to investigate the relation between the hydrological behaviour and the pollutant removal efficiencies of on-site stormwater management practices. An improved description of the hydrological processes in the source control system is adopted with the introduction of an infiltration-redistribution scheme accounting for the evolution of soil moisture so as to better replicate the temporal variability of infiltration fluxes. The opportunity of implementing relatively simple conceptual runoff quality models to simulate distinctive pollutant emission dynamics is also investigated: a generic model formulation is adopted and calibrated to replicate suspended solids concentrations in urban street runoff or zinc concentrations from a metal roof. A sensitivity analysis of the modelling system is later conducted so as to evaluate the influence of the different input factors and better understand the effect of some modelling hypotheses for the assessment of the performance of stormwater source control practices.The practical value of the modelling system is finally illustrated with the production of sizing diagrams displaying pollution control efficiency estimates as a function a limited number of design parameters, from which the relevance of a large variety of runoff control scenarios may be evaluated. The results presented in this study, corresponding to the rainfall conditions encountered in Paris region, suggest that the infiltration or evapotranspiration of a relatively small fraction of runoff in a simple dead storage volume could result in a significant reduction of pollutant discharges for soils exhibiting saturated hydraulic conductivity values greater than 10-6 m.s-1. In the case of lower saturated hydraulic conductivity values, this study however evidences possible failures of source control system due to a limited drainage capacity (extended ponding duration and saturation of the soil profile over significant depths). Results therefore suggest that the implementation diffuse stormwater management practices, with large infiltration/evapotranspiration areas and limited storage depths, should generally be preferred to achieve pollution control and ensure correct hydrological functioning of the source control systems

Повний текст джерелаChlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAH´s) were used widely within dry cleaning facilities and for metal degreasing until their toxicity was discovered. PCE is still used as dry cleaning liquid. Today CAH´s are found in soil environment at places where they have been used in the past. The CAH-concentration in trees growing on contaminated land has quite recently received attention as a cheap and effective way of assessing the extent of a CAH-contamination. The method has however, not been put into use in Sweden.
The aim of the study has been to investigate whether the CAH-concentration in tree cores could be used to delineate the spread of CAH in a soil environment under Swedish conditions in different seasons. The aim has also been to gain an understanding of the uptake process, as well as to identify the limitations of the method and important issues to consider when sampling.
Trees were sampled in March and June on Helgö 1:25, 1:26 in Växjö, Småland. Metal degreasing earlier conducted at this site has lead to the CAH contamination of soil and groundwater (PCE, TEC c-DACE). Mostly PCE, TCE, and chloroform were detected in tree cores. The CAH concentration was higher in June. Using the sum of PCE+TCE+c-DCE in trees to delineate the spread gave a result that was quite consistent with a delination done based on groundwater sampling.
The uptake of CAH by trees is governed by the uptake of water at the root. The water usage, together with the origin of the water used is important for the ability of the tree to take up CAH. The CAH concentration within trees is also dependent on the chemical properties of the compound (Log kow, solubility etc), the concentration of the compound in the soil as well as degradation processeses. The position and height of sampling in the trees, tree species as well as tree size are important factors to consider when sampling. Sampling during summer is preferred when the concentration of CAH in trees is likely to be higher.
The analysis of CAH in tree cores has potential to be used as a screening tool in soil investigations under Swedish conditions. It is a cheap and easy to use method, which would be a good complement to other investigative measures. However, an increased understanding of the processes involved, together with more analysis are needed., as this is a new method.
Klorerade lösningsmedel (CAH) användes i stor omfattning som bl a kemtvättmedel och avfettningsmedel tills dess att deras toxiska egenskaper blev kända. Perkloretylen (PCE) används än idag som kemtvättmedel. CAH återfinns ofta i markmiljö på de platser där de tidigare använts. Analys av CAH-koncentration i trädkärnor har uppmärksammats som en billig och effektiv metod för att översiktligt bedöma utbredningen av dessa föroreningar. Metoden har inte tidigare använts i Sverige.
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka om trädprovtagning kan användas för att bedöma utbredningen av föroreningar i markmiljö under svenska förhållanden vid olika årstider.
Analyserade CAH-halter i träd har jämförts med tidigare registrerade halter av CAH i grundvatten. Syftet har också varit att beskriva CAH-upptaget i träd, undersöka metodens begränsningar samt att sammanfatta viktiga aspekter vid provtagning.
Provtagningar av träd har genomförts under mars och juni på fastigheterna Helgö 1:25 och 1:26 i Växjö, där tidigare metallavfettning har medfört att mark och grundvattnet förorenats av CAH; perkloretylen (PCE), trikloretylen (TCE) och nedbrytningsprodukten dikloretylen (c1,2-DCE). Vid analys av trädkärnor detekterades främst PCE, TCE samt TCM (kloroform). Koncentrationen av CAH var högre i juni. Halten PCE+TCE+c-DCE i trädproverna gav en översiktlig bild av föroreningssituationen som överensstämde väl med de grundvattenprover som tidigare tagits på fastigheten.
CAH tas upp i vattenlöst fas vid trädens rötter. Trädets vattenbehov och vilket vatten det utnyttjar är därför viktigt för dess möjlighet att ta upp CAH. Ämnets kemiska egenskaper (log kow, flyktighet, mm.), samt förekomst och nedbrytning påverkar den halt som registreras i trädet. Vid provtagning bör provtagningspunkternas höjd över marken och position, trädart samt trädstorlek beaktas. Provtagning under sommaren är att föredra eftersom halterna då är högre.
Jämförelsen med grundvattenprovtagning visar att metoden har potential att användas i Sverige för att bedöma utbredningen av en CAH-förorening i markmiljö. Den är enkel att använda och kan vara ett alternativ på platser där konventionella metoder är svåra att genomföra. En ökad förståelse för involverade processer, samt utökade undersökningar av metoden är nödvändiga då metoden är ny.

Повний текст джерелаThe surface water quality may change because of natural processes like weathering and erosion of the earth´s surface, but it can also change because of anthropogenic impact. The largest impacts on Swedish streams are diffuse emissions from landfills or contaminated areas and traffic. The aim of this study is to analyze and evaluate the possible relationship between the concentration of metals and precipitation and discharge. The study area is the river Göta älv, from the outlet of Lake Vänern down to the city of Gothenburg. With the current climate change, the global mean temperature will increase, which will cause changes in the precipitation, in terms of both intensity and volume. Precipitation is expected to increase by 10-25 % in the region of Västra Götaland towards the end of this century. Hidden sources of contaminations in the ground can rise to the surface if the groundwater levels start to fluctuate. Surface runoff can also bring contaminations from urban areas to the streams. If streams have an urban connection they can more easily be affected by contaminants because of the closeness to the source of contamination. Measured concentration of metals have been analyzed and evaluated in correlation analyses. The water quality has also been evaluated between the 10 gauging stations along the river Göta älv. The results from this study show the significance of stream regulation for identification of possible relationship. No relationships appeared in the first correlation between discharge of a regulated stream and metal concentration. However, a weak relationship was found between the concentrations of chromium and a non-regulated discharge. The clearest relationship was discovered in the correlation between the concentrations of chromium, nickel and cobalt and an accumulated three month precipitation. The explanation is most likely due to groundwater levels which fluctuate, increased surface runoff and increased discharge which flushes the metals out from the nearby ground. Except for the metals, turbidity has shown a clear relationship between both non-regulated discharge and accumulated precipitation. More data is needed to confirm these relationships and to ensure their meaning. For future studies it is important to plan the measurements so they can cover all the changes and the variability of precipitation and discharge.

Повний текст джерелаStormwater management is a major issue for municipalities, be it regarding the increasing of runoff water because of the developpment of impervious urban areas (flooding risks), as well as the pollutant contamination limitation and removal in accord with the European Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60/EC) requirements. .. Since a few decades, municipalities implements and encourage the use of stormwater control measures (SCM) to regulate waterflows by infiltration either on large scale (via separative sewers and detention/infiltration basins) or on smaller plots directly at the source of runoff (source control systems such as swales, trenches, porous pavement…). A furnished litterature exists regarding stormwater quality on usual pollutants (TSS, COD, nutrients…), metals and PAHs. These last two are recognized as caracteristic of stormwater pollution and many studies highlighted their removal by differents types of SCMs. However, few or no studies focuses on a wider range of ;icropollutants such as pesticides, alkylphenols of brominated flame retardants. This study aim to contribute to the research field through the qualitative caracterization in situ of stormwater from two different type of SCMs (centralized and source control) on 59 micropollutant. Four different sites were chosen in oder to conduct the sampling at the outlet of i) a centralized detention basin (semi urban area, stormwater sewers), and three source control systems managing parking lots: ii) a porous pavement with reservoir structure, iii) an infiltration trench and iv) and vegetalized infiltration swale. Analysis were conducted on 59 micropollutants from five differents families (metals, PAHs, pesticides, alkylphenols and PBDEs) for about a dozen of rain events. Flows for more than 100 rain events were studied via metrology and sampling installations specially developed to measure the wide range of flows at the outlet of the source control systems.The study shows that metals and PAHs are the most particulate and the most quantified micropollutants in stormwater. They are also the ones that are treated the best, particularly by the source control systems which infiltration appears more efficient than the settling from the detention basin. Other micropollutant families show a more random speciation and are more likely to be removed by the trench and the swale than by the other systems. Globally, source control systems appear more efficient regarding micropollutant removal than the centralized basin thanks to their filtration, but the swale and the trench still stand out because of their great water retention increasing drastically their efficiency regarding total loads of micropollutants evacuated in receiving bodies

Повний текст джерелаI Sverige har så kallad konstgjord infiltrering, det vill säga perkolation av ytvatten ned i grundvattensystem, blivit ett allt vanligare tillvägagångssätt för att tillmötesgå den ökande efterfrågan av färskt dricksvatten bland Sveriges växande kommuner. Tyvärr är föroreningar av virus i dricksvatten ett vanligt bekymmer eftersom ytvatten enkelt förorenas genom mänskliga aktiviteter, vilket bland annat har observerats genom en ökning av diarréfall under vintermånaderna. Därför är det viktigt att en bra vattenbehandling upprätthålls för att förebygga fler insjuknanden hos befolkningen.Tidigare studier visar att ökning av organiskt material bidrar till förhöjd transport av virus i konstgjorda infiltreringsprojekt. Detta eftersom organiskt material binder till jordpartiklar och därför tar upp den plats som viruset annars skulle bundit till. Istället för att viruset binder till jorden och tas bort från vattnet, stannar det kvar och transporteras vidare i grundvattensystemet och kan då nå den vattentäkt där dricksvatten tas till samhället. Ökad förekomst av organiskt material skulle alltså kunna öka risken att kommunalt dricksvatten förorenas av virus.I denna studie användes prover tagna från det område i Uppsala där ytvatten infiltreras i marken för att genomgå naturlig rening. Proverna undersöktes för att se hur mycket virus som tas bort under den naturliga rengöringsprocessen. Borttagningen av virus mättes i en så kallad ”static batch equilibrium experiments”, vilket innebär att mängden virus i vattnet uppskattas utifrån tre olika parametrar, mätt över tid. De testade parametrarna är mängd organisk materia löst i vattnet, lösningens jonstyrka och mängd organisk materia bunden till jorden. För att jämföra de olika parametrarna och för att bestämma hur snabbt virus tas bort från vattnet, användes olika linjära modeller.Resultaten visade att organiskt material bundet till jord var den parameter som hade störst effekt på virusborttagning, där låg halt organiskt material är bunden till jord avlägsnades mest virus. Halten organisk materia löst i vatten har en liknande trend där en hög halt inte avlägsnar så mycket virus, medan en låg halt däremot avlägsnar mer virus. Proverna utan jord visade motsatt effekt mellan löst organisk materia och virusborttagning, det vill säga mer virus avlägsnades ju mer organisk materia som var löst i vattnet. Jonstyrkan hade ingen signifikant effekt på virusborttagningen.Två olika scenarion, värsta och bästa tänkbara, modellerades i programmet HYDRUS 1D för att kunna bestämma inom vilket intervall en eventuell förorening i Uppsalaåsens grundvatten skulle kunna ligga. Även graden av förorening längst ner i infiltreringsbassängen, bestående av ett metertjockt lager sand som placerats ovanpå Uppsalaåsen för att bidra till reningsprocessen, modellerades och bestämdes för att bättre kunna förutse när byte av sand är lämpligast.Provet som visade högst virusborttagning, det vill säga det bästa tänkbara scenariot, var 11.77 % effektivare än provet med långsammast virusborttagning. Däremot bestämdes det att uppskattningen av maximal förorening var orealistisk eftersom det i modellen antogs att hela åsen bestod av sand, medan åsar i själva verket består av många andra fraktioner och jordarter utöver sand, till exempel grus och sten.Provet med snabbast virusborttagning hade bara 0.60 % större minskning i koncentration av virus efter att vattnet passerat infiltreringsbassängen, än provet med lägst virusborttagning. Denna studie föreslår därför att det är av litet värde att byta ut sanden i infiltrationsbassängen då denna procedur har liten påverkan på dricksvattenkvalitén generellt.

Повний текст джерелаA fire can generate large amounts of toxic compounds and particles. When a fire is extinguished with water these compounds and particles can be transferred to the water, generating contaminated fire-extinguishing water. To understand and predict contamination transport from fire-extinguishing water in soil and groundwater the effect of fire generated particles on contamination transport needs to be understood. The aim of this study was to increase the knowledge of the chemical and physical properties of particles in fire-extinguishing water and to examine how these properties effect contamination transport in soil and groundwater. The study was conducted as a case study where fire-extinguishing water from a single fire was examined. Considering particle properties, particle transport in soil and groundwater is regulated by two main mechanisms: physicochemical particle-surface interactions and straining. How the mechanisms effect the transport is controlled by, among other things, the surface charge of the particles and the size of the particles. To understand particle properties analysis of the size distribution and zeta potential were conducted. To understand how the particles influenced contamination transport concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and metal were measured. Column experiments were then conducted with the characterized particles. The results showed that the particles zeta potential was negative. The fire-extinguishing water contained high concentrations of metals and PAH. When the particles were filtrated into two sizes, larger and smaller than 11 um, the highest concentration PAH and metals were found on the larger particles. In the column experiment particles ≤ 11 µm were transported through the sand while larger particles were immobilized. The measurements and the transport experiments indicate that particles ≤ 11 µm, in soil with similar properties as in the column experiment, could be transported without influence of physicochemical particle-surface interactions. The main mechanism for particle transport for particles with a diameter ≤ 11 µm would then be straining. That means that the transport of particles and therefore contamination transport would depend on particle size and soil pore size. The transport experiment with particles > 11 µm indicated that physicochemical particle-surface interactions and/or straining immobilized larger particles. If larger particles are immobilized the contamination spreading would be limited. To fully understand what mechanism controls the transport of particles in fire-extinguishing water, and therefore the contamination transport, more studies need to be conducted.

Повний текст джерелаSyftet med detta självständiga arbete var att på uppdrag av Länsstyrelsen i Västernorrland göra en MIFO fas 2 riskklassning av ett förorenat område vid Sundsvall-Timrå flygplats. MIFO (Metodik för inventering av förorenade områden) är en metodik framtagen av Naturvårdsverket med ändamålet att vägleda ombud och konsulter vid inventeringar av förorenade områden. Metoden är uppdelad i två steg, fas 1 och fas 2. Den första fasen involverar orienterade studier av området och den andra består av översiktliga studier, som till exempel fältundersökningar och analyser. Efter var fas tilldelas objektet en riskklass utifrån hur allvarlig föroreningssituationen bedöms vara. På Sundsvall-Timrå flygplats är marken, yt- och grundvattnet vid två brandövningsplatser förorenat med det antropogena ämnet PFOS som brukade ingå i släckskum. Som följd till detta har ett flertal miljötekniska mark- och grundvattenundersökningar gjorts i området under de senaste sju åren. Detta har lett till ett betydande underlag av data beträffande halt och spridning av föroreningen men fram tills nu har ingen fas 2 riskklassning av brandövningsplatserna med avseende på PFOS gjorts. Avsikten med arbetet var således att med hjälp av resultaten från tidigare miljötekniska undersökningar och SGIs preliminära riktvärden för PFOS, tilldela objektet en riskklass. Då Sundsvall-Timrå flygplats ligger intill Indalsälvens naturreservat, föroreningsnivån vid brandövningsplatserna anses vara mycket stor samt det faktum att PFOS har höga spridningsförutsättningar och toxicitet, resulterade studien i att området tilldelades riskklass 1, vilket innebär mycket stor risk.

Повний текст джерелаDie Grundwassermodellierung stellt eine wichtige wissenschaftliche Methode zur quantitativen Analyse von Fragestellungen zum Schutz der Menge und Güte der Grundwasserressourcen sowie der angeschlossenen Wasserkörper dar. Dementsprechend werden Grundwassermodelle sowohl für Planungs- und Bewertungszwecke im Wasserressourcenmanagement als auch zur wissenschaftlichen Erforschung der Prozesse im Untergrund entwickelt und angewendet. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht in diesem Rahmen, wie numerische Modelle, Feldmessungen und Daten generiert aus Fernerkundungsdaten und Webplattformen systematisch verknüpft werden können, um Fragestellungen im Bereich der Grundwasserforschung quantitativ zu beantworten. Das Ziel der Arbeit ist es neue effiziente Abläufe zu entwickeln, die die Limitierung der einzelnen Methoden überwinden und diese auf deren Anwendbarkeit für die Lösung spezifischer hydrologischer Probleme zu analysieren. Zu diesem Zweck wurden in dieser Doktorarbeit fallspezifische Lösungen für verschiedene Untersuchungsgebiete entwickelt, die sowohl in der räumlichen Skale als auch in den zu untersuchenden hydrologischen Fragestellungen eine große Diversität aufweisen. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit wurde die Massenbilanz von Wasserinhaltsstoffen in einem meromiktischen Tagebaurestsee im Lausitzer Revier durch physikalische und mathematische Modellierungsmethoden untersucht. Dabei konnte gezeigt werden, dass auf Basis einer gewonnenen mehrjährigen Zeitreihe von Messdaten ein einfaches Massenbilanzmodell in der Lage ist, sowohl Seeschichtungs- als auch Grundwasseraustauschdynamiken quantitativ zu beschreiben. Der zweite Teil der Arbeit umfasst die Entwicklung eines transienten numerischen Grundwassermodells für den quartären Uferaquifer im Bereich eines Flussmäanders der Selke welches anhand von Daten aus mehreren Salztracertests kalibriert wurde. Das Modell wurde dafür verwendet die transienten Verweilzeiten in der gesättigten Zone des Mäanderbogens unter dem Einfluss dynamischer hydraulischer Bedingungen zu untersuchen. Die Ergebnisse wurden im Anschluss mit Verweilzeiten verglichen, die aus der Analyse der zeitlichen Verschiebung von gemessenen elektrischen Leitfähigkeitszeitreihen zwischen Fluss und Grundwassermessstellen gewonnen wurden. Durch dieses kombinierte Verfahren konnten sowohl die Beschränkungen der zeitreihenbasierten Verweilzeitberechnung aufgezeigt als auch ein tieferes Systemverständnis für die Interaktionsdynamiken zwischen Grund- und Flusswasser auf der Mäanderskala gewonnen werden. Der dritte Teil der Arbeit beschreibt die Vorgehensweise für die Bewertung des Grundwasserkontaminationsrisikos im Einzugsgebiet des Songhua Flusses in China. Eine umfassende Literaturstudie wurde durchgeführt, um einen Überblick über die Verfügbarkeit von Messdaten zur Belastung der Wasserressourcen Chinas mit organischen Schadstoffen zu erhalten. Danach wurde für ein Teileinzugsgebiet ein dreidimensionales numerisches Grundwassermodell auf Basis der vorhandenen hydrogeologischen Daten aufgebaut. Dieses wurde dazu verwendet die Änderungen im Stofftransports und den Schadstoffkonzentrationen innerhalb des Aquifersystems unter steigenden Entnahmeraten zu analysieren. Basierend auf diesen Studien wurden auf der Skale des Gesamteinzugsgebiets, um die beschränkte Verfügbarkeit von Felddaten auszugleichen, die Ergebnisse der numerischen Grundwassermodellierung mit Fernerkundungsdaten und Webdatenbanken in einem Indexsystem kombiniert mit dem für die oberflächennahen Aquifere Vulnerabilität, Gefährdungspotential und Verschmutzungsrisiko in einer räumlichen Auflösung von 1 km² bestimmt wurden. Zusammenfassend konnten durch die vorliegende Doktorarbeit neue passgenaue Methoden zur effektiven Kombination von in-situ Messungen, der Datenerhebung und Datenintegration aus vielfältigen Datenquellen sowie numerischen Grundwassermodellierungsstrategien entwickelt und zur Lösung der untersuchten hydrologischer Fragestellen auf den verschiedenen Skalen und über die Grenzen der einzelnen hydrologischen Teilsysteme hinaus erfolgreich angewandt werden

Повний текст джерелаWater quality degradation, climate variability and population growth are among the factors that constrains water availability in the semi-arid Katari and Lago Menor region (6,350 Km^2), leading to an increasingly exploitation of groundwater resources. This thesis aims to conceptualize subsurface flow and trace nitrate contamination sources in the groundwater system within the Katari and Lago Menor Region.A multidisciplinary approach for field investigation was used in this study, including a regional groundwater source inventory and groundwater level measurements, geophysical investigation techniques (e.g. TDEM-Time Domain ElectroMagnetic soundings), piezometer construction and installation, and a regional sampling campaign and analysis for major ion chemistry and dual isotopes of 15N-NO3 and 18O-NO3.The results allowed identifying the limits of two different geological settings (Piedmont subsystem and Lacustrine plain), the geometry of the Quaternary porous geologic media and the bottom boundaries of the aquifer.The groundwater flow regime corresponds to a classical gravity-driven regional flow system. Six subdomains possessing different hydraulic properties were identified. A large portion of the aquifer presents an unconfined behaviour, particularly on the Piedmont, whereas it remains confined in the plain areas. The thickness of the unconfined portion varies from 50 to 150 meters. Values of hydraulic conductivity for the unconfined portion range from 1.1E-04 to 5.9E-08 m/sec, specific yield ranges from 0.16 to 0.20 and recharge values range from 118 to 382 mm/year. While for the confined part the transmissivity values range around 6.0E-06 m^2/sec with a storavity value of 1.2E-02 to 6.0E-03.In the high Piedmont areas where the hydraulic heads are high, the low mineralization and the chemical and isotopic compositions showed that the groundwater source is of good quality. In contrast, in the lower sector of the Piedmont, the shallower water tables of the alluvial-fluvioglacial-lacustrine sequence, make this area more vulnerable to contamination. Chemical facies and the isotopic composition of the dissolved NO3 revealed that the main origin of this anion is related to nitrogen fertilizers towards the NW of the Piedmont and human/animal waste towards the SE. Moreover, natural nitrate attenuation processes occur mainly in the lower sector of the Piedmont, when groundwater mixes with the reservoir of lacustrine origin. Groundwater flowing in the plain areas, present primarily Na(K)-Cl facies relating the presence of evaporites. In this area groundwater is prone to contamination, especially when the clay layer is absent and in places where a connection to the Piedmont is evidenced (subterranean channels). The contribution of groundwater to the current Lake Titicaca (Cohana Bay) appears to be retarded due to the presence of the clay layer.This basin-scale conceptual groundwater flow model provides a good understanding of the aquifer functioning, and a guide to future data collection, in order to improve the robustness of future groundwater flow numerical modeling. All the science-based information generated from this research was arranged into a GIS spatial database to support decision makers in the management and protection of groundwater resources. This science-based information also contributes to the environmental remediation of Lake Titicaca, a national priority for the Plurinational State of Bolivia

Повний текст джерелаSustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) are increasingly used for stormwater management. However, the generalization of runoff infiltration in urban watersheds raises some concerns regarding the soil's ability to retain ubiquitous micropollutants. The present work addresses soil contamination by trace metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in such infiltration devices, with the aims of: (i) appraising the levels and spatial extent of soil contamination, (ii) better understanding the mechanisms which govern the fate of contaminants in these systems, and (iii) identifying design and maintenance guidelines which may enhance long-term pollutant control through SUDS.The first part of the study consists in a series of experimental investigations in ten contrasting study sites, which have been in operation for more than ten years. The two-stage methodology successively leads to cartographies of metal contamination in the surface soil, and vertical profiles of metal and PAH concentrations, along with different explanatory variables. The spatial distribution of trace metals in the upper horizon displays a systematic structure with respect to the inflow area, and bears the time-integrated signature of the infiltration fluxes and flow pathways at the surface. In the most contaminated zone of the facilities, a significant enrichment of metals and PAHs is detectable until 10 to 40 cm depth. Contaminant retention results from the combination of different physicochemical and mechanical processes (resp. sorption and sedimentation/filtration), the contribution of which can be assessed via the zirconium deficit in urban sediment in comparison to the soil's geochemical background. The inter-site variability of contamination levels is attributable to (i) differences in the soil's retention capacities, and (ii) differences in pollutant loads from the watershed. Although surface contents may exceed intervention thresholds for “multi-functional” spaces in several study sites, the area which would require soil remediation is laterally and vertically limited.These experimental assessments are complemented by a modelling approach, to describe the long-term evolution of soil contamination, and to evaluate the effect of various SUDS designs and maintenance operations. A sensitivity analysis is first carried out so as to identify the “key elements” in the system description: the results show that a wrong estimation of the soil's dispersivity or sorption isotherm is likely to induce significant biases in the predicted contamination profiles. A method is then proposed to describe non-uniform water infiltration fluxes, and the filtration of particle-bound contaminants. The model is validated via a comparison between measured and predicted metal profiles in one of the study sites, where a comprehensive soil characterization is undertaken. Finally, a “scenario analysis” illustrates the benefits of (i) using soil enrichment products with enhanced sorption capacities, and (ii) facilitating water spreading at the surface, in terms of “lifespan” of the devices and maintenance requirements

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis aims to develop a general method for modelling roofing materials emissions on the city scale. This method is based on an original scaling approach integrating different tools within the engineering sciences and social sciences. The work includes the creation of a bibliographic database describing new and old roofing materials and their associated contaminants.The scaling approach - from roof to the city scale – is based on a new concept called typical-situation of contaminant emission from roofing material on the roof. For each typical situation a contaminant annual runoff rate is associated. This concept allows the transition between the roof scale and the city scale. To facilitate contaminant flow calculation on the city scale, different methodological principles are adopted to exploit and adapt existing urban databases (land use database, numerical cadastre, and aerial images) with respect to the specific issue of roofing material emissions. Thus, dividing and crossing principles are used to divide the city into homogeneous units. A unit is a cluster of buildings characterized by a specific roofing materials distribution. These units are obtained by crossing a typological buildings study (developed from the land use database) with the city urban history and the roofing material historical evolution. Defining empirical rules is necessary to quantify the distribution of the material in the different roofing elements on the city scale. These rules are developed from a survey made by conducting interviews with experts of the roofing material sector (industrials, masters of work, architects...) as well as a historical study and a market study for roofing materials.The full development of the method makes it essential to choose a study site and a contaminant in order to illustrate in detail all the calculation steps. Créteil city was selected because it presents a big diversity and a large number of buildings in order to represent most of the urban functions of any city in France. In the city of Créteil, zinc annual runoff rates have been produced for different metallic materials for the maximum of zinc typical-situation. A statistical approach was developed to complete empirical rules to compute roofing materials area distribution on the city scale. This approach is based on a stratified random sampling technique in conjunction with aerial images interpretation of the different roofing material element applied for each unit. Given the roofing material distribution and the zinc typical-situations, annual zinc flow from roofing material at Créteil city was estimated namely 813 kg.an-1 with an uncertainty of 16.6%.The developed method can be applied to other cities and other contaminants. In this context, the operational procedure of the application of this method was described at the end of this work. Our method can be used as a decision-making tool by urban planners at three levels to implement policies in order to reduce roofing pollutants emissions. In order to apply this method to any contaminant, different tracks were drawn to define an optimized approach to produce of runoff rates for different typical situations
