Abstract
This project evaluated the feasibility of using granular activated carbon (GAC) for removing certain carcinogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in groundwater at concentrations from 5 micrograms per liter (µg/L) down to as low as the minimum reporting levels (MRLs) defined under EPA Method 524.3, which are in the sub µg/L range. Research partners: EPA and WERF. Published in 2015.
Originally funded as WERF project INFR1SG09j
