Study Notes
Contaminant Release from Hazardous Waste Sites
- The three phases of contaminant release from hazardous waste sites are: • Source release: contaminants are released from the waste into the surrounding soil and groundwater • Transport: contaminants are transported through the environment via air, water, or soil • Fate: contaminants are transformed or degraded through chemical or biological reactions
Air Emissions
- The types of air emissions mentioned in the text are: • VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) • Particulates • Gases
Contaminant Release Terminology
- In the context of contaminant release, a 'puff' refers to a sudden release of contaminated air or gas
Environmental Quality (Scheduled Waste) Regulations 2005
- The focus of Environmental Quality (Scheduled Waste) Regulations 2005 is on the management of scheduled waste, particularly the reduction of environmental pollution from industrial activities
Fate and Transport of Contaminants
- The primary mechanism of fate and transport of contaminants in the environment is through advection, dispersion, and diffusion
