Migration of wood-preserving chemicals in contaminated groundwater in a sand aquifer at Pensacola, Florida

Aşağı Melet Irmağı (Ordu, Türkiye) Su Kalitesi ve Kirlilik Düzeyinin Araştırılması

“…The most common anthropogenic sources of phenol in natural water include coal tar (Michałowicz, and Duda, 2007) and waste water from manufacturing industries such as resins, plastics, fibers, adhesives, iron, steel, aluminum, leather, rubber (Gardziella at al. 2013), and effluents from synthetic fuel manufacturing, paper pulp mills (Couto, and Herrera, 2006) and wood treatment facilities (Goerlitz et al 1985). Concentrations of phenols in unpolluted waters are usually less than 0.02 mgL -1 .…”

Semivolatile organic (GC-MS) and inorganic analyses of groundwater samples during the hydrous pyrolysis/oxidation (HPO) field test in Visalia, CA, 1997

“…Some of the observed differences could have resulted from more than one creosote, dense, nonaqueous-phase liquid (DNAPL) type being present in the intermediate aquifer. The composition of a complex creosote DNAPL pool also can be altered by a variety of physical, chemical, and biochemical processes (Goerlitz et al, 1985). An example of a physical alteration would be the preferential loss of more soluble compounds to the groundwater (Johansen et al, 1997), and an example of a chemical alteration would be the chemical oxidation that occurs at extremely slow rates under ambient conditions but can be greatly accelerated by steam injections (Knauss et al, 1998a;Leif et al, 1998).…”

Mobility of Polychlorinated Aromatic Compounds in Soils Contaminated With Wood-preserving Oil

“…1>2 The sources of this contamination generally include wastewater storage in unlined impoundments, process residuals, spillage, and treated wood drippings. 3 In addition to PCP, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), have been found in environmental samples at a number of wood-preserving facilities that use PCP as the active ingredient for wood treating. 2 PCDDs and PCDFs are byproducts of the manufacturing process for PCP, and the hexachloro-through octachloro-dioxin and furan congeners are found in concentrations as high as several hundred to several thousand ppb in commercial grade PCP formulations.…”
