Assessing Risk from DNAPLs in Fractured Aquifers
2002
Journal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences
Chlorinated solvents are among the most widespread pollutants of groundwater. As DNAPLs (dense nonaqueous phase liquids), they can move rapidly and in complex patterns through fractures to reach and contaminate large volumes of aquifer, and then dissolve to cause significant pollution of groundwater. However, clean-up of DNAPLs in fractured rocks is virtually impossible and certainly expensive. Risk assessment should be used to decide whether the pollution is serious enough to justify major
