Hydrocarbons volatile organic compounds

Removal of hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and odors using activated carbon. 

From the above it can be concluded that the risk for lung cancer induction from chronic indoor exposure to Rn-d is unlikely to be higher than 1.10 4/mSv. in order to understand the magnitude of this risk it has to be emphasized that man can be exposed to a multitude of different hazardous materials in the indoor atmosphere besides Rn-d, such as formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrosamines, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, asbestos and pesticides (Gammage and Kaye, 1985). 

Enviro-Klean Technologies Inc s (EKTI) KLEAN-MACHINE is a patented ex situ, low-temperature thermal desorption technology used to treat petroleum-contaminated soils. The KLEAN-MACHINE treats soil contaminated with hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and petroleum hydrocarbons (with a carbon chain length of 45 carbons or less). The technology also cleans baghouse fines. 

The low-temperature thermal aeration (ETTA) technology is a thermal desorption process that separates chlorinated hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semivolatile organic compounds (S VOCs), pesticides, and petroleum hydrocarbons from soils at temperatures of 300 to 800° F. This technology uses hot air to desorb contaminants from soil into a contained airstream and treats the airstream before discharging it to the atmosphere. The system is transportable and consists of six major components assembled on flat-bed trailers. The entire system and support areas require approximately 10,000 ft of operating space. 

Miellet [80] and Lopez-Avila et al. [81] have reviewed the applications of Soxhlet extraction to the determination of pesticides in soil. This technique has been applied extensively to the extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, pesticides, herbicides and polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins in soils. Details of the extraction procedures and the analytical finish employed are reviewed in Table 1.1.
