Abandoned military sites in northern North America are relics of the Cold War and sources of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
In the late 1990s, the Canadian federal and provincial governments began the cleanup of the mid-Canada radar line in Ontario,
Canada. The first site to be remediated was Site 050 (Fort Albany First Nation) in 2001; however, the community remains concerned
that contaminants may have moved prior to, during, and after remediation into the Albany River directly adjacent to Site 050.
Thus, the Albany River was monitored (1999, 2001, 2002) during the remediation process to determine if the cleanup itself
further contaminated the aquatic compartment, using leeches (Haemopis spp.) as bioindicators. Few organochlorines were found in leeches at levels higher than the detection limit, aside from PCBs.
Leech data from the present study indicated that PCB levels were significantly higher near Site 050 than the control site
upstream, indicating point source contamination from Site 050. The temporal trend in leech contaminant data indicated an increase
in PCB contaminant load from 1999 (pre-remediation) to 2001 (immediately post-remediation), but this difference was not statistically
significant due to high variances. Nevertheless, logit log-linear contingency modeling did reveal that immediately after cleanup
(2001), contaminants (CBs 99, 118, 128, 156, 170, 183) in leeches were detected significantly more frequent than expected.
When taken together, leech body burden and frequency of detection data suggest that the remediation process itself further
contaminated the aquatic environment, if only temporarily. Lastly, the removal of the terrestrial source of PCBs during remediation
did remove the source of aquatic contaminants in that body burden of contaminants in leeches were significantly lower a year
after cleanup. 相似文献

Municipal solid waste in situ moisture content measurement using an electrical resistance sensor 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Moisture content (MC) is a crucial parameter for degradation of solid waste in landfills. Present MC measurement techniques suffer from several drawbacks. A moisture sensor for measurement of in situ moisture content of solid waste in landfills was developed. The sensor measures the electrical resistance across the granular matrix of the sensor, which in turn can be correlated to moisture content. The sensor was also equipped with a thermocouple and tubing that permits simultaneous measurement of temperature and gas sampling. The electrical conductivity of the surrounding moisture and the temperature in the matrix both affect the resistance measurements. This paper describes the results of laboratory experiments designed to select the appropriate granular media particle size, measure the influence of moisture electrical conductivity and temperature, and develop calibration relationships between measured resistance and gravimetrically determined moisture content. With a few limitations, the sensor is able to detect MC of solid waste under conditions allowing moisture movement into the sensor. The application of this technique shows promise for use in bioreactor landfills where high moisture contents are expected and desired. 相似文献
