If Groundwater Is Contaminated, Will Water from the Well Be Contaminated?
Introduction In a recent study of public-supply-well water quality in the United States, nearly two-thirds of all samples from 932 public wells tapping 30 regionally extensive aquifers contained detectable amounts of drinking-water contaminants that originated entirely or primarily from manmade sources. Twenty-two percent of the samples contained at least one contaminant (manmade or naturally o...
متن کاملBlue babies and nitrate-contaminated well water.
The use of nitrate-contaminated drinking water to prepare infant formula is a well-known risk factor for infant methemoglobinemia. Affected infants develop a peculiar blue-gray skin color and may become irritable or lethargic, depending on the severity of their condition. The condition can progress rapidly to cause coma and death if it is not recognized and treated appropriately. Two cases of b...
متن کاملPesticides and Parkinson’s Disease: The Legacy of Contaminated Well Water
Nanotechnology holds the promise of vastly expanding our ability to clean up hazardous waste sites and decontaminate polluted groundwater in situ. Polychlorinated biphenyls, organic solvents, petroleum products, arsenic, and many more contaminants are on the list that specifically engineered nanoparticles could rapidly remove from contaminated soil and water, saving billions of dollars that wou...
متن کاملWell water contaminated by acidic mine water from the Dabaoshan Mine, south China: chemistry and toxicity.
An investigation into well water quality was carried out in a rural area subject to irrigation with acidic mine water from the Guangdong Dabaoshan Mine, southern China. The results of water pH measurements from 112 wells in two different seasons suggest that the well water has been contaminated to varying degrees in the investigated Shangba floodplain (approximately 11km south of the Guangdong ...
متن کاملPhytoremediation of contaminated soils and groundwater: lessons from the field.
BACKGROUND, AIM, AND SCOPE The use of plants and associated microorganisms to remove, contain, inactivate, or degrade harmful environmental contaminants (generally termed phytoremediation) and to revitalize contaminated sites is gaining more and more attention. In this review, prerequisites for a successful remediation will be discussed. The performance of phytoremediation as an environmental r...
