Boron and strontium isotopic characterization of coal combustion residuals: validation of new environmental tracers.
(Environ Sci Technol, 2014-12-16)In the U.S., coal fired power plants produce over 136 million tons of coal combustion residuals (CCRs) annually. CCRs are enriched in toxic elements, and their leachates can have significant impacts on water quality. Here ... -
Evaluating salinity sources of groundwater and implications for sustainable reverse osmosis desalination in coastal North Carolina, USA
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2011-08-01)The natural and pumping-induced controls on groundwater salinization in the coastal aquifers of North Carolina, USA, and the implications for the performance of a reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant have been investigated. ... -
Isotopic imprints of mountaintop mining contaminants.
(Environ Sci Technol, 2013-09-03)Mountaintop mining (MTM) is the primary procedure for surface coal exploration within the central Appalachian region of the eastern United States, and it is known to contaminate streams in local watersheds. In this study, ...
