High fluoride levels beyond the recommended value of 1.5 mg/L have been detected in several groundwater wells in Northern Ghana. This occurrence has led to the capping of many high yielding wells that hitherto have been major sources of drinking water for the populace in these arid areas. Most of the fluoride removal technologies applied in the ...

New Arsenic Regulations How meaningful to the average water customer are µg/l or parts per billion? Not very. How about the word “arsenic”? That will ring some bells as the mystery novel poison-of-choice. But with new, lower EPA arsenic standard of 10 ppb that went into effect Jan. 16, cities with arsenic problems are required ...

A total of 39 water samples from 23 different groundwater wells in Korea were collected and analyzed in order to monitor the occurrence of norovirus (NoV) and other indicator microbes as the first part of a national survey of groundwater. More than 500 L of untreated groundwater were filtered through 1MDS filters. Following elution and ...

Background In late 2006, AdEdge Technologies was awarded a turnkey adsorption based system for arsenic removal for the NAS Electronic Warfare Range (EWR) Centroid Facility - Fallon, NV. AdEdge performed this turnkey contract under a Task Order from Barajas & Associates and NAVFAC oversight. Engineering plans and permit application were ...

Polyethylene diffusion bag (PDB) samplers are low-density polyethylene bags containing deionized water, used to collect water samples in groundwater wells for laboratory analyses of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). PDB samplers are passive devices, relying on the movement of groundwater from the aquifer or water-bearing zone through the screen ...

Water scarcity has often been recognised as a major challenge to sustainable development and viability of the anticipated Palestinian State. Recently, after the evolution of increasing oil prices, energy has become another major challenge. Groundwater, which is the major source for Palestinians, depends greatly on diesel and electricity whose ...

The U.S. Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest (NAVFAC SW) used the Triad approach to collect an integrated hydrogeologic and chemical dataset for expediting and optimizing characterization of a volatile organic compound (VOC) plume at Naval Base San Diego (NBSD), CA. The 295-acre 'IR Site 22' was identified in 2003 when VOC ...
