Synthesis of patterns relating to contaminate type, contaminate sources, geographical patterns, and
remediation. Have already synthesized the information into a table. Do not need an intro or conclusion. Already
started, but struggling while recovering from COVID.
Patterns:
Contaminate groups- heavy metals, PAHs, VOCs, PCBs, asbestos, creosote
Sources- timber treatment, municipal/industrial landfills, oil refineries/exploration
Geography- water bodies (marshes, wetlands, creeks, rivers, lakes, etc.) rural and low-income areas
Remediation- unsure, immediate action to contain contamination to the site, excavation and backfilling of soil,
clay capping of contaminated areas, groundwater monitoring and continued testing
