Abstract: Location-specific, near-term (≤10 years) temperature and precipitation conditions are informative and important in many infrastructure engineering activities. Two alternative approaches for obtaining near-term future climate ...

Abstract: The transport of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediment is difficult to study in the laboratory due to their low solubility and strong tendency to sorb to sediment and experimental equipment. A small-scale laboratory ...

Abstract: Adsorption often dictates the fate of trace inorganic pollutants in aquatic systems. In contrast to the nonspecific sorption mechanism proposed for hydrophobic organic compounds, adsorption of inorganic solutes is viewed ...

Abstract: An evaluation was performed of the uncertainty in predicted carcinogenic risk resulting from uncertainty in site properties and fate and transport predictions for a simple contaminated soil site. SoilRisk, a risk model for ...

Abstract: Adequate biocide addition is the key to control biological growth-related problems in recirculating cooling systems of thermoelectric power plants. The use of monochloramine (MCA) as the primary biocide is as effective as ...

Abstract: Bauxite residue (red mud), an alkaline slurry from alumina refining, is produced in large volumes and disposed of in large surface impoundments. The objectives of this study were to measure the extent of neutralization of ...

Abstract: A methodology for evaluating the variability of risk resulting from the use of uniform, concentration‐based soil‐quality criteria is developed and applied to polychlorinated‐biphenyl‐(PCB‐) contaminated soil as an example. ...

Abstract: This paper describes in detail a new integrated risk model, SoilRisk, for low-levels of organic pollutants in soil. An analytical model of the fate and transport of organics in unsaturated soil is used where chemical losses ...
