Microbial degradation of chlorinated ethenes in hyporheic zones: processes and development of mitigation strategies KU Leuven
Chlorinated aliphatic compounds (CAHs) like tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE) and their daughter products cis</>-dichloroethene (cDCE) and vinyl chloride (VC) are major groundwater contaminants threatening water quality and human health. At many industrial sites, CAH contaminated groundwater plumes discharge into surface water bodies like rivers and lakes. </>Research and technology development aiming at mitigationof ...
