... samples should be routinely achievable using the method. A controlled field study also confirms that source concentrations that are measured using the Superfund Method, which can be reported for any structure size range of interest, can be coupled directly to appropriate emission and dispersion models...

... Methods have been developed to allow rapid screening of insulation samples for formaldehyde emission under conditions of controlled temperature and relative humidity. Cored samples of the insulation are packed into 50-mL drying tubes and placed into a small drying oven whose sides have been...

... Volatilization is a valid concern in the solidification of wastes containing organics. In the presence of strongly adsorbing substances, however, even volatile compounds may not rule out solidification. In order to distinguish between wastes having negligible emissions and those from which...

... A field-scale, in-situ, slurry-phase bioremediation demonstration was conducted at the French Ltd. Superfund Site in Crosby, Texas. As part of this study, several aeration technologies were compared, based on reliability, organic chemical emissions levels, mixing, and oxygenation characteristics...

... Volatilization rates for hydrophobic organic compounds from a confined disposal facility (CDF) containing contaminated dredged material are presently unknown. The primary purpose of this study is to indicate the availability of theoretical models for the evaluation of volatile emissions from...

... Modified diesel fuels have the potential to reduce engine-out exhaust emissions. Detroit Diesel has been testing diesel fuels with low sulfur and aromatics and higher cetane number, synthetic diesel fuels, and commercial fuels with various additives. Other industry programs have generated...
