A 9.0 ppb solution of dieldrin in water was passed through a
granular-activated carbon bed at the rate of 4 gpm/sq. ft. The performance
of the carbon was monitored from sampling ports at bed
depths of 2-1/4 and 8-1/4 inches. Isotherm tests were also run with
a 9.0 ppb dieldrin...
A comprehensive study was made on the impact to surface and ground water pollution by a recently populated rural neighborhood located in the foothills of western Oregon. A stream originating in a limited access forest and flowing through a modern zoned housing development was routinely monitored. Sampling was performed during...
