Course description

This course will allow studying the sources of underground contamination and their characteristics. The types of pollutants and sources of contamination will be presented and the bases for the transport of pollutants in a porous medium (soils and aquifers) will be established. The mass transfer processes involved and important chemical reactions will be presented. Contaminated sites and risk models for human health and ecosystems will be assessed, to end by analyzing possible decontamination techniques by analyzing case studies.
