Chemical Fingerprinting in the Environment (20)
Problem: Determine if the origin of chemicals found at field sites can be traced to specific chemical sources/processes
Project Activity Scope (from Technical Overview Chart): Interaction mechanisms through Measurement & Analysis System Applications
PNNL Solution:
- Evaluated chemicals present at site
- Used chemical database to estimate chemical stability & reactions at site
- Analyzed co-present chemicals to project back-in-time to identify & estimate source contributions
- Successfully performed analysis at several waste sites
Capabilities Employed to Meet Client Needs: Atmospheric dispersion modeling; oil spill modeling; chemical and biological agent database developments; probability analysis; accident and consequence analysis; fate and transport modeling applications; waterborne pathway determinations; source-term contributions; population exposure modeling; mass balance and biotransformation effects analysis.
