(Lecture 7) HW Ch 8. Contaminant Release and Transport from the Source - Contaminants distributions are commonly quantified using sampling and analysis schemes because monitoring data are more reliable and thus preferred. - However, in some cases, values obtained from prediction models are still useful. 1. The Controlling Processes in Contaminant Release and Transport: Sorption, Volatilization, Transformation (p. 405) a) atmospheric and subsurface transport (Fig. 8.1) - major contaminants' trnasport through the subsurface and atmosphere - once released from the source, contaminants experience sorption, volatilization, and transformation b) conceptual pathway analysis (Example 8.1) 2. Mass Transfer of Contaminants in the Atmospheric and the Subsurface (p. 408) 1) Mass balance a) expressions change in storage of mass = mass transported IN - mass transported OUT +mass PRODUCED by sources - mass ELIMINATED by sinks rate of change in storage of mass = mass transport rate in - mass transport rate out +mass production rate by sources - mass elimination rate by sinks rate of mass accumulation within the system boundary = rate of mass flow into the system - rate of mass flow out of the system -/+rate of reaction within the system (* rate = mass per time [M/T]) If storage does not change with time the left-hand sides are zero steady state

3) Advective flux a) mainly resulting from bulk, large scale movement of a medium (e.g.) wind blows, water flows,... b) so, transported at the same velocity as the fluid - macroscale view; center of mass of chemical moves by advection - microscale view; Fickian transport occurs at the same time c) convection; often vertical advection (but, considered almost a similar term) d) flux density (J) - mass of chemical transported across an imaginary surface of unit area per unit of time J = C V J; advective flux (mg/m 2 -sec) [M/L 2 T] / C; contaminant conc. (mg/m 3 ) [M/L 3 ] V; fluid velocity (m/sec) [L/T] - in groundwater, V is pore-water velocity J = C (nv p ) n; porosity (i.e., n e ) / v p ; seepage (pore-water) velocity (m/sec) 4) Dispersive flux a) "all of the mass transfer exclusive of advection" b) Turbulent diffusion ("eddy diffusion") - resulting from random mixing of air or water by eddies - carries mass in the direction of decreasing chemical concentration (e.g.) dye blob injected into a river - important in surface water and air (not considered in the subsurface) - use Fick's first law to describe J [M/L 2 T]; dispersive flux in the x direction n; porosity D; turbulent diffusion coefficient C [M/L 3 ]; chemical concentration x [L]; distance over which a concentration change is considered
c) (mechanical) dispersion (hydraulic dispersion) - fluctuations in the velocity field at scales smaller than advection - groundwater flow;. no eddies present due to its low velocity. but still random detours exist, causing mixing chemicals - transport of a chemical from regions of higher to lower concentration - use Fick's first law to describe J [M/L 2 T]; dispersive flux in the x direction n; porosity D mech ; mechanical dispersion coefficient C [M/L 3 ]; chemical concentration x [L]; distance over which a concentration change is considered - related to the tortuous path of water through the subsurface solids - tortuosity of flow paths and contaminant concentration result in the longitudinal mixing of contaminants d) molecular diffusion - random movement of chemicals due to local concentration gradient - lower flux density compared to other Fickian transport processes - use Fick's first law to describe J [M/L 2 T]; dispersive flux in the x direction n; porosity D; molecular diffusion coefficient C [M/L 3 ]; chemical concentration x [L]; distance over which a concentration change is considered - not related to advective, dispersive, or turbulent motion but dependent on contaminants' molecular properties (primarily, size) and temperature
e) hydrodynamic dispersion - the spreading of a tracer beyond the region expected to the average flow alone - the macroscopic outcome of the actual movements of individual tracer particles through the pores and the various physico-chemical phenomena that take place within the pores - J disp = J mech + J mole - D = D mech + D mole Transport in total: J = J adv + J dis One-dimensional situation is considered, flow is anisotrophic - flow direction vs. perpendicular to flow, - homogeneous medium vs. heterogeneous medium, - time 5) The advection-dispersion equation - for the subsurface transport; characteristics of the medium - analytical methods - numerical methods 3.

Contaminant Transport in the Vadose Zone a) vadose zone - may be less than a meter to hundreds of meters deep - higher organic matter, more metal oxides, more microbial activity b) contaminants can move in the vadose zone - as a solute in the water phase - as a separate, immiscible NAPL phase - as a gas resulting from volatilization c) percolation rate - increases as a function of porosity - ranges from cm/h to cm/yr (recall infiltration rate!!!)

(Lecture 10) HW Ch 4. Source Analysis 1. Materials Balances and Waste Audits (p. 212) 2. Hazardous Waste Site Assessments (p. 216) - Hazardous wastes sites must be assessed to determine the extent of contamination before cleanup is initiated. (a) Phase I assessment - to confirm the suspicions of the presence of hazardous wastes - involves documents and paper research including a chemical inventory evaluation, interviews with current and former personnel and neighbors, regulatory agency record searches and interviews, and title searches and reviews of historical ownership,... - on-site inspection also required (i.e., to find clues of contamination) - to determine the need for further investigation, not to determine whether a site is contaminated or not (b) Phase II assessment - to confirm or deny the presence of hazardous wastes at the site - includes a detailed evaluation of pathways and potential receptors - extensive sampling and analysis around source areas (c) Phase III assessment - conducted if Phase II assessment shows that the site is contaminated - to detail the extent of contamination in terms of the area, volume, and concentrations - more extensive sampling and analysis around the source and adjacent areas (i.e., soil, subsurface, groundwater) - to provide criteria for an appropriate remedial design
4. Source Sampling (p. 219) - one of the most important procedure - generally use statistical methods to minimize sampling errors - sampling errors mainly from heterogeneous media - sampling errors are usually greater than analytical errors 5. Source Sampling Procedures and Strategies (p. 229) 6. Sampling away from the Source (p. 232) - often a prerequisite before designing remediation systems and documenting their effectiveness during operation 7. Priority Pollutant and Sample Analyses (p. 241) - among a list of 129 chemicals, 114 organics, 13 metals, 1 mineral, and 1 inorganic nonmetal - organics; extraction through simple solvent shaking or Soxhlet apparatus (continuous solvent flushing with heat) - analysis; GC/FID (EDC...), HPLC, AA (Atomic Absorption) spectrophotometer, ICP (Inductively Couple Plasma) - US EPA Method 600 series (for aqueous samples), 8,000 series (for soils and sludges); Table 4.3
(Lecture 11) ESP Ch 14. Risk Assessment Risk assessment - the process of estimating both probability that an event will occur and the probable magnitude of its adverse effects - provides an effective framework for determining relative urgency of problems and the allocation of resources to reduce risks - human risk assessment, ecological risk assessment de minimis level of risk acceptable risk - depends on population. size/age/health conditions - for carcinogens, general range of 10-4 10-6 - for noncarcinogens, HI = 1
Risk assessment process (1) Hazard identification - a review of all relevant biological and chemical information bearing on whether or not an agent poses a specific threat - site investigation (contamination levels ) (2) Exposure assessment - the process of measuring intensity, frequency and duration of exposure to an agent - exposure routes; ingestion, derma contact, inhalation - exposure pathway. from source to receptors. affected by interactions between pollutants and environmental media (soil, water, aquifer ) - exposure factors
(3) Dose-response assessment - need quantitative toxicity data. mainly from animal experiments. IRIS (US EPA) - acute, subchronic, chronic toxicity - dose-response relationship. generally, sigmoid-type curve. dose; mg-chemical/kg-body weight/day. response; mortality
Surrogates vs. human dose vs. dosage - dose; the total mass of chemical to which an organism is exposed - dosage; the chemical dose normalized for body weight, surface area,..
- for carcinogens. linear multistage model (USEPA). slope factor (SF), cancer potency factor (CPF). risk by a lifetime average dose (AD) of 1 mg/kg/day. lifetime risk = AD * SF (70 years)
- for noncarcinogens. assumes threshold. reference dose (RfD). unit; mg/kg/day (4) Risk characterization - excessive lifetime risk = exposure * toxicity - carcinogenic risk - noncarcinogenic risk uncertainty analysis - sensitivity analysis - Monte Carlo simulation record of decision (ROD) site-specific - site investigation - risk assessment - remediation goals - remediation technologies,,, uncertainty factors - individual sensitivity - extrapolation to humans - extrapolation from high dose to low dose - professional judgement
Carcinogenic risk calculation Noncarcinogenic risk calculation Ecological risk assessment (ERA) - much more difficult and time-consuming - needs lots of database regarding biota and toxicity - food chain vs. target species
[ 참고 ] Routes of Pb exposure in the environment Biotransformation of toxicant in body How to deal with risk? (example) "During a shower, toxic chemicals are released from the water, exposing the person to chemicals that may be up to 100 times greater than normal exposure. Is there a risk in showering? Should individuals be afraid of shower?

Remediation technologies - principles: containment, removal, treatment Containment technologies - physical barrier - hydraulic barrier - immobilization (solidification/stabilization) Removal technologies - excavation - pump-and-treat - soil vapor extraction (SVE); permeability - air sparging,
In situ treatment - bioremediation - chemical treatment: Fenton s reagent Others - soil washing - magnetic separation - electrokinetic treatment
Phytoremediation - accumulation; hyperaccumulators - stabilization. root exudates. rhizobacterial activity - plants as hydraulic barriers
Monitored natural attenuation (MNA) - restricted application only where appropriate and needed - prerequisites. Are MNA process occurring at the site?. Is the magnitude and rate of MNA sufficient to accomplish the remediation goal? long-term site monitoring is important geochemical indicators be protective to human health and the environment
Monitored Natural attenuation (MNA) "needs to show favorable processes are ongoing at the site plume management technique - usu. for ground water remediation rationales - ground water (aquifer) contaminated by DNAPLs -> residual NAPLs limitation of conventional means (e.g., pump-and-treat) - plumes; relatively short, not expanding, and little or no risk * Plume life cycle. expanding: residual source present. mass flux of contaminants exceeds assimilative capacity of aquifer. stable: insignificant change. remediation processes are controlling plume length. shrinking: residual source nearly exhausted. remediation processes significantly reduce plume mass. exhausted: average plume conc. very low (e.g., 1 ppb) and unchanging over time key factors determining applicability. plume stability. required time frame.... site information (monitoring factors for MNA)
Attenuation processes 1) dispersion; a. mixing process caused by - ground water movement (velocity variations) in porous media - aquifer heterogenicities (--> flow velocity and path) b. results in sharp edge and dilution of solutes at the edge 2) sorption; represented by retardation factor 3) degradation; biotic and abiotic (hydrolysis of chlorinated solvents...) 4) dilution insignificant factors a. diffusion - molecular mass transfer by concentration gradients - can occur in the absence of velocity - only a factor in the case of very low velocities (tight soil, clay liner) or of mass transfer involving very long time periods b. volatilization c. advection; movement of contaminants along with flowing ground water
Geochemical indicators a. consumption of electron acceptors used for oxidative reactions (e.g., dissolved oxygen, nitrate, sulfate in the plume area...) b. production of metabolic by-products (e.g., ferrous iron, methane, c-dce, VC, ethene...) c. presence of appropriate redox/microbial environments (e.g., dissolved hydrogen...)
Attenuation rate calculation a. bulk attenuation rate (k); just indicates whether conc. declines or not... b. biodegradation rate (λ); attenuation rate model FATE V... Risk-based corrective action (RBCA); developed by ASTM (1995) a. identification of applicable risk factors on a site-specific basis b. identification of potential mechanisms for exposure on a site specific basis SSTL = RBEL x NAF SSTL; site-specific target level NAF; natural attenuation factor (rate; k) RBEL; risk-based exposure limit at POE (usu. standard level..)
