Land Use, Risk, and Superfund Cleanups

Public Works Management & Policy, 1999
In the Superfund reauthorization debate, many argue that protective cleanups can be achieved more efficiently by utilizing broader risk-based approaches that eliminate the pathways by which individuals are exposed to unacceptable levels of contamination.

Superfund site characterization using non-parametric variogram modeling

Analytica Chimica Acta, 1993
Abstract The spatial interpolation method of Kriging, originally developed for estimation of ore reserves in mining and prediction in meteorology, has become an important geostatical tool for assessment of contamination in Superfund site characterization. Kriging uses as estimated spatial covariance matrix, or alternatively the variogram, to find the

Use of a Fourier transform spectrometer as a remote sensor at Superfund sites

SPIE Proceedings, 1991
A Fourier transform infrared remote sensor (FTIR-RS) has been used at a Superfund site to make measurements of the concentrations of various gases. An attempt was made to measure benzaldehyde and benzonitrile along with methane and carbon monoxide. The results of these measurements are discussed.

Superfund and the politics of US hazardous waste policy

Environmental Politics, 1998
In spite of its seemingly non‐controversial goal of cleaning up toxic waste sites to protect human health and the environment, Superfund has had a stormy history. Why has Superfund stirred so much contention? Drawing on information gathered through a series of personal interviews conducted with congressional staffers, officials in local and state ...

Biomonitoring for metal contamination near two Superfund sites in Woburn, Massachusetts, using phytochelatins

Environmental Pollution, 2004
Characterizing the spatial extent of groundwater metal contamination traditionally requires installing sampling wells, an expensive and time-consuming process in urban areas. Moreover, extrapolating biotic effects from metal concentrations alone is problematic, making ecological risk assessment difficult.

Remediation and future land use: Incorporating reuse considerations into Superfund activities

Remediation Journal, 2005
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) is placing increased emphasis on the selection and implementation of remedies that accommodate the reasonably anticipated future use of contaminated land. These remedies result in the long-term protection of human health and the environment.
