Emerging Contaminants Handbook

Emerging Contaminants Handbook

by Margaret Gentile (Editor), Ian Ross (Editor), Caitlin H. Bell (Editor), Erica Kalve (Editor), John Horst (Editor), Suthan Suthersan (Editor)

Synopsis

Emerging contaminants are those for which the threats to human health and the environment are just becoming understood, those for which regulatory standards are pending or newly developed, or those which are currently being brought to light through new science around detection methods, exposure pathways, and treatment technologies. This book serves as a handbook for understanding the occurrence, behaviors, and treatment technologies of emerging contaminants. Additionally, applicable groundwater, wastewater, and drinking water treatment technologies for emerging contaminants will be provided, as well as guidance for managing the risks of the uncertainties surrounding these contaminants.

Author Bio
Caitlin H. Bell, P.E. is a Senior Environmental Engineer at Arcadis. She holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, a M.S. in Environmental Engineering, and has nearly 10 years of consulting experience. Ms. Bell is a remediation engineer that focuses on sub-surface treatment of soil and groundwater using in-situ techniques. Specifically, she focuses on in-situ bio-remediation applications for a variety of chemicals of concern, including emerging contaminants. She serves as a technical resource to clients on topics such as molecular biology tools, bio-augmentation, compound specific isotope analysis, and challenging bio-remediation approaches for compounds like 1,4-dioxane. Erica Kalve, P.G., is a Principal Geologist at Arcadis. She holds a B.S. in Geology, a B.A. in Chemistry, and has over 16 years of experience in the environmental field. Ms. Kalve is an environmental geologist that focuses on site investigation, characterization, and development of conceptual site models to support remedial decisions, long-term site management, and regulatory approval. She is actively engaged in characterization and management of emerging contaminants including poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), 1,4-dioxane, and n-nitrosodimethylamine. She serves as a technical resource to clients on topics such as SMART characterization, vapor intrusion, remedial alternative analyses, monitored natural attenuation, and regulatory strategies. Margaret Gentile, Ph.D., P.E. is an Associate Vice President at Arcadis. She holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Maryland, a M.S. and Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Stanford University, and has 10 years of consulting experience. Dr. Gentile is an environmental engineer leading teams in the design and implementation of remediation systems. She specializes in biological treatment processes, large-scale remediation and remediation of metals, including hexavalent chromium. She has presented routinely on hexavalent chromium at industry conferences, and leads the In-Situ Reactive Treatment technical group within Arcadis. Dr. Suthan Suthersan is Chief Technical Officer and Executive Vice President at Arcadis. He has enabled Arcadis to become one of the most respected knowledge-based environmental services company in the world through his contributions towards technology development and developing best practices and knowledge sharing platforms. His expertise and experience is gained from participating in hundreds of environmental remediation projects in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Latin America and Asia.
