Perchlorate
Perchlorate is highly soluble and chemically stable in water, which makes groundwater-contaminated plumes difficult to remediate by conventional treatment methods. To address the environmental impact of perchlorate, SERDP and ESTCP have funded work to improve the remediation of perchlorate-contaminated groundwater, evaluate the sources of perchlorate, assess alternatives to perchlorate as a long term solution, and study the toxicology of perchlorate to ecological receptors.

Measurement and Use of Mass Discharge and Mass Flux at Contaminated SitesOn-Demand Video This on-demand video presents a summary of the basic concepts of mass discharge and mass flux, as presented in a short course at the 2010 SERDP and ESTCP Symposium. The course is based on the technology overview document, Use and Measurement of Mass Flux and Mass Discharge, published by the Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council (ITRC). Available measurement and estimation techniques are described, and several case studies of mass flux measurements at contaminated sites are examined. |
