| Abstract | 1,4-Dioxane is a synthetic industrial chemical frequently found at contaminated sites where 1,1,1-trichloroethane was used for degreasing. It is a probable human carcinogen and has been found in groundwater at sites throughout the United States. The physical and chemical properties and behavior of 1,4-dioxane create challenges for its characterization and treatment. It is highly mobile and has not been shown to readily biodegrade in the environment. In December 2006, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (OSRTI) prepared a report titled Treatment Technologies for 1,4-Dioxane: Fundamentals and Field Applications. The report provides information about the chemistry of dioxane, cleanup goals, analytical methods, available treatment technologies, and site-specific treatment performance data. The information may be useful to project managers, technology providers, consulting engineers, and members of academia faced with addressing dioxane at cleanup sites or in drinking water supplies. This article provides a synopsis of the US EPA report, which is available at http://cluin.org/542R06009. |
