A Case Study of Risk Management for Groundwater Contaminated Site by Organic Chlorine Solvents.

The pollution of soil and groundwater have increased due to the leakage of ptrolium products and organic chemicals in the country recently,and Taiwan face with small region and dense population,so the pollution maybe exposed through relevant way such as quality of water,soil,air,crop and fish and so on to affect human health and cause risk of jeopardise directly or indiretly. The study is to aimed at chlorinated compounds for domestic,and use methods of risk assessment to analyze necessity and urgency of renovation for be contaiminted compound and downstream influence.And then according to result to make relevant management strategies and projets to control risk level and influence for contaiminated compound.
In this study,we collect information relate to case,in accordence to health and risk assessment methods for soil and groundwater contaminated sites and some softwares of CRYSTAL BALL and BIOCHLO by Environmental Protection Bureau to estimate the site which was evaluated chlorinated compound (trichloroethylene,TCE),and considerate whether they affect residents healy nearby,use some hydrogeological survey of sites to process second-level health risk assessments.
First,use commercial software of CRYSTAL BALL execute uncertainty and sensitivity analysis. Not only does the analysis probe into overall parameters variaty how to affect risk value but also they process analysis and results by different combinations of paremeter.From this result, we can confirm that the large parameter values for affecting risk is transmission of pollutants and is similar to previous studies assessment and analysis.Other parameter cause less influence for risk variaty such as age level of receptor,group,the way of contact,time and water quntity.The study discovers TCE pollutants concentration will make change of risk value by accompany with groundwater move to downstream distance. That means receptor of distance of contamination resource cause large influence. The far distance represents can product the larger function for TCE pollutant, and causes less cancer risk for receptor, conversely, it causes higher cancer risk.
Subsequently, we also use BIOCHLOR assessment software by U.S.A Enviromental Protection Bureau. from the result to determine whether the site have potential of anaerrobic reductive dechlorination or not and estimate natural attenuation possibility.The actual situation of the site gets the three score in the weight total.This display do not prove that chlorinated compounds can procedd biogical decomposition in the anaerobic invironment without more correct value in the stage.We recommend looking for another renovations.
The study selects more important sensitive parameters through risk assessment result for the site and work out the way of renovations which is suitable for this case by schedule of object. The investigation has found that residents indeed extracted groundwater for agriculture irrigation, but not drank water directly. In order to avoid the worst situation happens from the view of risk, we will consider two aspects of regulation and technology for plan.
First, in order to administration control for the aspect of regulation we will consider how to prohibit residents to extract groundwater effectively. For instance, prohibit or limit to set up underground well, provide substitute drink water, set up notice sign and underground water quality monitor measure regularity. Second, for the sake of preventing pollutant group spread and adopt measure for the aspect of technology, for example pollution remediation technology (include soil gas extraction, air injection method at present) and containment control technology (include hydraulic containment, permeability reactive barrier, natural biological remediation, etc) to manage effectively possible events in the site and prepare well prevention in advance. We also adopt good communication with local residents to let residents understand executive content for renovation and reduce their resistance in favor of making progress for renovation and achieve risk management objective.
