More Stringent Sampling Required to Address PFAS Water Contaminants
The adoption of more accurate groundwater sampling techniques holds the key to monitoring the presence of PFAS in UK water supplies, urges an environmental technology expert. This warning, from QED Environmental Systems, follows the publication of a study by the BBC that found PFAS levels exceeded European safety limits in over half of the samples taken. Just weeks earlier, Cambridge Water ...

Water sampling the key to safely harnessing the UK’s coalmine geothermal energy
Using the UK’s abandoned coalmines as a source of geothermal energy for district heating schemes is a positive development for the nation’s net zero goals, though experts have warned that it will need to be allied to a stringent water sampling regime. The warning, from QED Environmental Systems, follows the recently reported development that the Coal Authority, which is responsible ...

Private Well Water Quality in Puerto Rico and Testing for Potential Contaminants
Earlier this year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a plan to address contamination that is impacting wells previously used to supply drinking water to several communities in Puerto Rico. The public is not currently drinking water from these closed wells, but EPA is taking action to address contamination from the site over the long-term. Groundwater samples collected by ...

Aerobic Cometabolism of TCE and 1,4-Dioxane
In a pilot study to compare aerobic cometabolism with anaerobic reductive dechlorination to remediation TCE and 1,4-dioxane at a former industrial facility in New Jersey, aerobic cometabolism reduced the concentrations of both compounds while anaerobic reductive dechlorination was unsuccessful. For aerobic cometabolism, CL-Out microbes were injected into the aquifer to a depth of 60 to 90 feet ...

Incorporating site-specific analytical data and machine learning to predict environmental site conditions
EnviMetric makes intelligent predictions about the extent of groundwater contamination even when there is no available analytical data regarding contaminant concentrations. Factors such as the site location, release type, property use, and geologic setting are very predictive of how large a groundwater plume will be. EnviMetric uses all this available information to make data-based predictions ...

Effects of Intraborehole Flows
Two new research papers published in 2019, by an Australian research group led by David Poulsen, build on earlier work by McMillan et al (2014) and others in improving our understanding of the depth origin of water samples collected from long-screened and open boreholes. Background When sampling groundwater wells and open boreholes, many practitioners think no further than using sampling ...

California Residents Learn of PFAS Contaminants Detected in Water Systems that Serve Millions
In March of last year, the California State Water Resources Control Board sent California Water Code (CWC) Section 13267 orders requiring soil and ground water samples to sites considered to be potential sources of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The sites were selected because they have facilities or activities that could be a potential source for this type of contamination. In ...

New, convenient peristaltic pump accessory
Solinst Canada Ltd. has introduced a new accessory for the 410 Peristaltic Pump that makes it even more convenient for sampling shallow groundwater, surface water, and soil gas in the field. The 410 Peristaltic Pump uses a 12V DC power source to operate. The new 12V battery holder connects to the pump so a user-supplied 12V battery becomes an integral part of the assembly. This makes the pump ...

CL-Out Pilot Study Vandenberg AFB – successful aerobic cometabolism Case Study
A pilot study of the applicability of CL-Out aerobic cometabolism of PCE and other chlorinated solvents was completed at Vandenberg Air Force Base. The pilot study consisted of injection in a single well and groundwater sampling at four surrounding wells to monitor the progress of bioremediation. During the pilot study, samples were analyzed for the contaminants and breakdown products, ...
