Application of Speciation Analysis to Identify Natural Attenuation of Contaminants

With the application of the specialized metals speciation testing methods available from Brooks Applied Labs, a multitude of contaminated sites have been found to naturally attenuate contaminants, saving millions of dollars for our clients! For example, various arsenic species will behave differently in soil depending on many factors, which necessitates a more detailed characterization than most commercial laboratories can provide. Not only does natural attenuation reduce the costly burden of site remediation or disposal, but it can also preserve the environment by reducing disturbances in the ecological system, especially when a pump-and-treat approach would otherwise be implemented.
