ABSTRACT

Our understanding of vapor intrusion has evolved rapidly since the discovery of the first high profile vapor intrusion sites in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Research efforts and field investigations have improved our understanding of vapor intrusion processes including the role of preferential pathways and natural barriers to vapor intrusion. This review paper addresses recent developments in the regulatory framework and conceptual model for vapor intrusion. In addition, a number of innovative investigation methods are discussed.

ABSTRACT

In this study we used the assimilation of isotope labeled CO(2) to measure the substrate preferences by two different bioaugmentation mixtures proposed for bioremediation of diesel oil contamination. All active microorganisms assimilate CO(2) in various carboxylation processes involved in growth. The CO(2) assimilation by the two mixtures was measured upon addition of glucose, diesel oil or specific compounds present in diesel oil (naphthalene, toluene, hexadecane, and octane). It was shown that within short term incubations with diesel oil (<5 h), one bioaugmentation mixture was superior to the other regarding the assimilation of CO(2). This observation was confirmed in a labor-intensive long term microcosm study (60 days). The applied method open various possibilities for fast pre-testing of substrate-preferences by microbial-bioaugmentation mixtures without microcosm experiments, on-site tests, and complicated chemical analysis. This study also demonstrates the possibility to obtain further information on the substrate preferences at a single cell level of phylogenetically defined microbial subgroups in bioaugmentation mixtures, based on combined analyses of microautoradiography and fluorescence in situ hybridization.
