Site background

The database provides project profiles that include site background information (e.g., site type, climate, and precipitation), project information (e.g., purpose, scale, and status), cover information (e.g., design, vegetation, and installation), performance and cost information, points of contact, and references. Table 25.5 provides a summary of key information from the database for 34 recent projects with monolithic ET or capillary barrier ET covers.15... 

Phenol has been detected in surface waters, rainwater, sediments, drinking water, groundwater, industrial effluents, urban runoff, and at hazardous waste sites. Background levels of phenol from relatively pristine sites can be as high as 1 ppb for unpolluted groundwater and have been reported to range from 0.01 to 1 ppb in unpolluted rivers (Thurman 1985). Phenol has been detected in Lake Huron water at 3-24 ppb (Konasewich et al. 1978) and industrial rivers in the United States at 0-5 ppb (Sheldon and... 

The environment in which the isolator is sited. Background environments are categorised in table 3. 

In addition, the entire site ould have the soil at various depths sampled, as well as the groundwater sampled for the toxic substances Usted below. This should be a random grid sampling comparing the results to off-site background levels. ... 

Rather different circumstances are encountered when considering THz remote sensing of extraterrestrial sources. The major source of THz opacity in the Earth s atmosphere is water vapour, and from either high, dry mountain sites or from space there are windows in which the background becomes very small. Incoherent instruments which detect the faint emission from astronomical sources can therefore be considerably more sensitive than their laboratory...

Each worksite is different even though relative hazards may be similar. Wind direction, surface contamination, or neighboring properties that may contain contributing contamination may vary. The site description/background sections should give the workers enough information to perform their job safely without overkill. The simpler, smaller, and fewer hazards there are on site, the less background information will be necessary. 

It is known that several intermolecular interactions are responsible for cyclodextrin complexation, acting simultaneously. These interactions are separable from one another by quantitative structure-reactivity analysis. Furthermore, correlations obtained by the analysis can be discussed in direct connection with actual interactions already elucidated experimentally for the action site of cyclodextrin. Thus, the results must serve to make the background of the correlation analysis more concrete. 

In addition to individuals who are occupationally exposed to endosulfan (see Section 5.5), there are several groups within the general population that have potentially high exposures (higher than background levels) to endosulfan. These populations include individuals living in proximity to sites where endosulfan was produced or sites where endosulfan was disposed of, and individuals living near one of the 162 NPL hazardous waste sites where endosulfan has been detected in some environmental media (HazDat 2000).
