Abstract:
Much of groundwater contamination is contamination of aquifer soils by dense compounds that are not soluble in water. Among the nation’s leading scientists focusing on contaminant remediation are those in the Center for Multiphase Research in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. They have a strategy for cleaning up dense contaminants that involves floating pools by increasing the density of the underlying groundwater.
