Site contamination research
Research regulatory standards, remediation technologies, and case studies for specific contaminants. Build the scientific foundation for environmental site assessments, CERCLA filings, and cleanup plans.
Research current EPA standards and best available remediation technologies for trichloroethylene (TCE) contamination in shallow groundwater.
EPA maximum contaminant level for TCE is 5 ppb. Current remediation options by effectiveness: in-situ chemical reduction (ISCR), enhanced reductive dechlorination (ERD), and pump-and-treat with GAC. ERD has 74% success rate in sandy aquifers per 2023 EPA technology assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How current is the air quality data?
Air Quality provides real-time readings from monitoring stations worldwide, updated continuously. Data includes AQI (US EPA standard), individual pollutant concentrations (PM2.5, PM10, O3, NO2, SO2, CO), and pollen and allergen levels where available.
What earthquake data is available for seismic hazard assessments?
Earthquake Monitor provides real-time and historical seismic data globally, sourced from USGS and regional networks. You can search by location radius, magnitude range, depth, and date range — returning event details suitable for engineering geology and NEPA assessments.
Can academic research results be used in regulatory submissions?
Academic Research searches peer-reviewed literature databases and returns papers with full citations including DOI, journal, authors, and publication date. These are the same sources used in regulatory submissions — always verify final citations against the original paper.
What resolution is available for satellite imagery?
Satellite Imagery provides sub-meter resolution imagery for most locations, with current and historical views. This is suitable for visual documentation in environmental impact reports, though it does not replace formal GIS analysis for quantitative land cover assessments.
Can I get ocean data for remote coastal survey sites?
Ocean & Tides provides tidal predictions, wave height forecasts, sea surface temperature, and marine alerts for thousands of locations worldwide including remote coastal areas. Coverage varies by data station density but includes most US coastlines and major international waterways.
