Session: Fate, Transport, and Remediation of Contaminants of Emerging Concern and Their Transformation Products in the Critical Zone III (AGU Fall Meeting 2018)

H13D:
Fate, Transport, and Remediation of Contaminants of Emerging Concern and Their Transformation Products in the Critical Zone III

Session ID#: 62748

Session Description:

Emerging contaminants (EC) represent substances (nanoparticles, nanohybrids, technology critical elements, pharmaceuticals and halogenated organic compounds) released to the environment in growing amounts because of anthropogenic activities. EC raise global concern due to their long-distance transport potential, toxicity and bioaccumulative/biotransferable properties. Fate and transport influence EC remediation efficacy and determine adverse impacts and risks in the critical zone. In-depth understanding of the fate and transport of EC guides scientific communities and regulatory agencies to formulate legislative regulation and act for their management. This session welcomes studies on processes transforming EC in the critical zone and studies linking aspects of EC and their transformation at all scales in porous media from experiments to field observations. Additionally, studies including the fate of EC at the biofilm mineral interface to better understand exposure, will be particularly welcomed. Studies on remediation technologies such as sorption, catalytic and redox degradation and biotic degradation are also invited.
