Abstract

Chlorinated hydrocarbons, i.e., TCE and PCE, have long perseverance in the environment. Knowledge of the dynamics of water and solute or pollutant transfer in soil is relevant in remediation technologies. Thus, there is a need for the development and integration of novel techniques, which allow detection and monitoring of contamination in surface and subsurface processes at spatial scales relevant. Cross Well Radar (CWR) is being used to detect buried objects in a frequency range between 500 to 1000 MHz using loop antennas. The technology can be used to detect TCE movement, and may detect changes in the water content inside a soil. An experimental protocol has been developed to use CWR to detect and visualize DNAPLs distribution in the soil. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2007 Petroleum Hydrocarbons and Organic Chemicals in Ground Water: Prevention, Assessment and Remediation Conference (Houston, TX 11/5-6/2007).
