"Light Non Aqueous Phase Transport and Fate in the Subsurface"
In December 2014, CL:AIRE published the LNAPL Illustrated Handbook, the eagerly awaited companion document to the Environment Agency’s DNAPL Handbook. The LNAPL Illustrated Handbook presents best-practice guidance for the assessment and remediation of light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs) in the subsurface. LNAPLs notably include fuels and oils, for example petrol (gasoline), diesel and heating oils, and are amongst the most commonly encountered organic contaminants in the subsurface environment due to their ubiquitous use, accidental release and, perhaps, poor (historical) disposal.
The LNAPL Illustrated Handbook provides a blend of technical detail and real world conceptualisation of the LNAPL problem and appropriate methods to investigate and manage it. The handbook also facilitates access to a wealth of detailed research, guidance and case study literature within the various topics covered. It will be useful to the practitioner and research communities, and also provide a valuable educational resource to others having a less direct interest or specialised knowledge.
The LNAPL Illustrated Handbook was funded by Shell Global Solutions (UK) and comprises the work of multiple authors from universities and environmental consultancies in the UK, USA and Canada.
