Objective:

The purpose of this study is to develop, refine, and use sensors and field instruments, based on redox indicators and other reagents as on-site, on-line, or in-situ monitoring tools for assessing and optimizing redox and related conditions for treatment of PCE and TCE with dehalogenating cultures. These sensors and field instruments will be calibrated for evaluating redox conditions and the effectiveness of dechlorination in two collaborative situations involving a bioaugmentation approach in soil columns and physical aquifer models (PAMs).
