Field Analytic Technologies Encyclopedia (FATE) Provides information about technologies that can be used in the field to characterize contaminated soil and ground water and monitor the progress of remedial efforts More information is available at fate.clu-in.org Department of Defense (DOD)-Department of the Army, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) This online encyclopedia is intended to provide information about technologies that can be used in the field to characterize contaminated soil and ground water, monitor the progress of remedial efforts, and in some cases, for confirmation sampling and analysis for site close out. Technological advances over the past decade have created a whole new set of tools to improve site cleanup and long-term monitoring. Computerization, microfabrication, and biotechnology permit the development of analytical equipment that has capabilities that blur the distinction between "screening methods" and "definitive methods." In the next decade, technological advances are likely to alter that landscape even more dramatically. One technology, Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy has been used most typically in off-site laboratories. However, because of the advances described above, that technology is being used to a limited extent in field laboratories. This encyclopedia has been designed with a wide range of readers in mind: from engineering students to field technicians to site managers. It is structured much like a typical encyclopedia with standard categories of information provided for each technology class. However, throughout the narrative, the site includes hyperlinks to more detailed information, further explanations, diagrams, and additional supporting data should the reader be interested in learning more. Information has been pulled into the encyclopedia on past documented use, and vendors and their specific instruments from other sources. As those sources of information expand, the encyclopedia will capture the information dynamically. Keywords: Chemistry-Analytical chemistry; Environment-Water quality Resource tags: Directories, dictionaries, glossaries
