Soil and Groundwater ContaminationNonaqueous Phase Liquids\nAuthor(s): Alex S. Mayer, S. Majid Hassanizadeh\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: American Geophysical Union\nISBN-13: 9780875903217, 978-0875903217\nSynopsis\nPublished by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Water Resources Monograph Series, Volume 17.\n\n Nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) are frequently found as soil and groundwater contaminants. Highly toxic even in small volumes, NAPLs can pose a threat to human health and damage surface and subsurface ecosystems.\n\n In this book, we clarify the complex phenomena of NAPL migration and offer insight into the behavior of NAPLs at sites undergoing monitoring and remediation. Contents include discussion on:\n\nPrinciples of NAPL behavior in the subsurface, including flow, transfer of components to water and gas phases, and transport\nMigration and distribution\nSite characterization and monitoring\nRemediation methods, including hydraul.
