Prediction of Volatile Losses from Contaminated Exposed Sediments

Abstract

This technical note describes laboratory and field investigations conducted to obtain flux data from contaminated dredged materials for the emission of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from sediment exposed to the atmosphere. These data have been used to develop and validate predictive volatile emissions models. Laboratory and field results and predictive equations are presented.
