| Hazardous Waste Risk and Remediation in the Southwest
|
Description:
The focus of the UA Superfund Basic Research Program is to improve the risk assessment process by developing better toxicologic and hydrogeologic tools, and to improve the remediation of Federal and State Superfund sites by developing more effective, economical remediation strategies and technologies. The main toxicants being examined, arsenic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, are not unique to the Southwest and our results can be applied to hazardous waste sites both nationally and internationally.
