1 UNC Superfund Research Program Research Translation Core Dana Haine, MS Biology Science Educator Connecting Chemicals and Water Quality Funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences

2 Point source: any single identifiable, stationary source from which pollutants are discharged (e.g., a pipe, industrial facility, or wastewater treatment plant) Non-point source: pollutant comes from a broad area and/or many diffuse sources. Precipitation moving over and through the ground picks up pollutants. Types of Water Pollution

3 Point Source Pollution and Plume Formation http://www.maine.gov/doc/nrimc/mgs/explore/water/facts/aq-04.htm

4 Water-soluble e.g., pesticides, perchlorate, chromium, and MTBE LNAPLs, Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids e.g., benzene, toluene, jet fuel, and gasoline DNAPLs, Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids e.g., trichloroethylene (TCE), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) Classifying Water Contaminants
