Volatile Losses from Resuspended Dredged Material

Abstract

This technical note describes laboratory investigations conducted to obtain flux data for the emission of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from sediment resuspended in the water column. Data obtained from these investigations are being used to evaluate and validate previously developed air emission conceptual models (Valsaraj et al. 1997a). Laboratory experimental techniques and results obtained during these investigations are described. In addition, a model addressing the multi-media (including air) chemical fate of polyaromatic hydrocarbons during dredging operations is presented.
