VECTOR Systems for Forensic Investigations

The legal consequences of environmental contamination requires a solid understanding of the fate and transport of that contamination. VECTOR Technology uniquely complements analytical chemistry by providing excellent and cost-effective hydrogeological control on contaminant movement. Quickly and efficiently resolve these and other important questions

• Constrain source age, location, and likely contaminant distribution based on VECTOR results.
• Correlate observed contaminant degradation products with VECTOR flow data.
• Precisely establish optimum (qualitative) chemistry sampling locations for delineating plume extent.
• Conduct chemistry sampling using qualitative methods. Refine calculation of age and contaminant areal extent, if necessary.
• Establish optimum locations for quantitative chemical analysis of plume.
• Obtain quantitative chemistry results and further constrain contaminant degradation rates and, with multiple-depth VECTOR results, the 3-D positioning of density-dependent species within the aquifer.
• Use VECTOR ground water velocity and direction measurements and qualitatively calculate the future position of specific chemistries over time.
