Description:
Redox conditions are among the most important parameters for controlling contaminant transport and fate in ground-water systems. Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions mediate the chemical behavior of both inorganic and organic chemical constituents by affecting solubility, reactivity, and bioavailability. The measurement and interpretation of redox parameters in ground water have direct applications to selecting site remedies and to assessing remedial performance. Understanding the complexities associated with oxidation-reduction processes for remediating contaminated ground water is a major priority of research and technology transfer for the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Research and Development (ORD) and the National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL). This report summarizes the findings of a workshop held to discuss and summarize the current state-of-the-science with respect to methods of redox monitoring, data interpretation, and their applications to ground-water remediation.
