GWERD Research on Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA)Click here for related research
MNA is the use of natural attenuation processes within the context of a carefully controlled and monitored site cleanup approach that will reduce contaminant concentrations to levels that are protective of human health and the environment within a reasonable time frame. There are three primary applications: fuel components from leaking underground storage tanks, chlorinated solvents from hazardous waste sites, and metals and other inorganic substances. Major sources include landfills, uncontrolled hazardous waste sites, and spills of gasoline from service stations. Microcosm Study of Anaerobic Biodegradation of MTBE in Aquifer Sediment
