Petroleum Hydrocarbons and Organic Chemicals in Ground Water: Prevention, Detection, and Remediation® (cont.)
Presented on Tuesday, April 30, 2013
The management of petroleum and hydrocarbon impacted sites continues to be a significant environmental issue, with petroleum site remediation costs exceeding one billion dollars annually. Scientists, engineers, private industry, and regulators are constantly searching for improved approaches for effective characterization and remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated sites. Decreased funds for cleanup and environmental restoration have forced both government and industry to consider innovative options to move sites to closure.
