“…In groundwater, the presence or an increase of CO 2 can be deduced from reaction products (Hovorka et al, 2006;Jenkins et al, 2012;Romanak et al, 2012;Yang et al, 2013;Anderson et al, 2017), from analyses of pressurized samples representative of the subsurface conditions (Freifeld et al, 2005), and from tracers that help track waters containing dissolved CO 2 (Kharaka et al, 2009;Ringrose et al, 2009;Würdemann et al, 2010;Matter et al, 2011). Probabilistic modeling of risks associated with leakage suggest that 98% of the CO 2 will be retained in 10,000 years (Choi et al, 2013;Alcalde et al, 2018;Rogelj et al, 2018). An increase in CO 2 in aquifers may mobilize lead and arsenic contained in rocks (Zheng et al, 2009) creating an environmental hazard if drinking water sources are affected.…”
