| − | Chlorinated solvents are a large family of organic solvents that contain chlorine chlorine atoms in their molecular structure. They were first produced in Germany in the 1800s, and widespread use in the United States (U.S.) began after World War II. In the period of 1940-1980, the U.S. produced about 2 billion pounds of chlorinated solvents each year <ref name="PC 1996"> Pankow, J.F. and Cherry, J.A., 1996. Dense Chlorinated Solvents and Other DNAPLs in Groundwater, Waterloo Press, Portland, OR. ISBN-10: 0964801418/ISBN-13: 978-0964801417 </ref>. Chlorinated solvents, including [[wikipedia:Carbon_tetrachloride|carbon tetrachloride (CT)]], [[wikipedia:1,1,1-Trichloroethane|1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA)]], [[wikipedia:Tetrachloroethylene|perchloroethene or tetrachloroethene (PCE)]] and [[wikipedia:Trichloroethylene|trichloroethene (TCE)]] have been among the most widely used cleaning and degreasing solvents in the U.S <ref> Doherty RE 2000. A history of the production and use of carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene and 1,1,1-trichloroethane in the United States: Part 1. Historical background; carbon tetrachloride and tetrachloroethylene. J Environ Forensics1:69–81</ref>. They also have been used in a wide variety of other purposes such as adhesives, chemical intermediates, clothes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and textile processing.

| − | Chlorinated solvents are organic compounds generally constructed of a simple hydrocarbon chain (typically one to three carbon atoms in length). They can be divided into three categories based on their structural characteristics: chlorinated methanes, chlorinated ethanes and chlorinated ethenes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Chlorinated methanes represent the most structurally simple solvent class and consist of a single carbon center (known as a methyl carbon) to which as many as four chlorine atoms are bonded. From the perspective of groundwater contamination, perhaps the most well-known chlorinated methanes are [[wikipedia:carbon tetrachloride|carbon tetrachloride (CT)]] or [[wikipedia:tetrachloromethane|tetrachloromethane]], [[wikipedia:trichloromethane|trichloromethane]] (commonly known as [[wikipedia:chloroform|chloroform [CF])]], [[wikipedia:dichloromethane|dichloromethane (DCM)]], or [[wikipedia:methylene chloride|methylene chloride (MC)]] and [[wikipedia:chloromethane|chloromethane (CM)]], or [[wikipedia:methyl chloride|methyl chloride]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Chlorinated ethanes consist of two carbon centers joined by a single covalent bond. The most frequently encountered groundwater pollutants of this class include [[wikipedia:1,1,1-trichloroethane|1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA)]] and [[wikipedia:1,2-dichloroethane|1,2-dichloroethane]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Chlorinated ethenes (also referred to as chlorinated ethylenes) also possess two carbon centers, but unlike chlorinated ethanes, these carbon atoms are joined by a carbon-carbon double bond. Chlorinated ethenes that are important groundwater contaminants include [[wikipedia:tetrachloroethene|tetrachloroethene]], or [[wikipedia:perchloroethene|perchloroethene (PCE)]], [[wikipedia:trichloroethene|trichloroethene (TCE)]], [[wikipedia:dichloroethene|dichloroethene (DCE)]]) (DCE, mainly two geometric isomers cis-1,2-dichloroethene and trans-1,2-dichloroethene), and [[wikipedia:vinyl chloride|vinyl chloride (VC)]]. Nomenclature and structure of selected compounds from each solvent class are shown in Table 1.

| − | The chlorinated solvents and many of their transformation products are colorless liquids at room temperature. They are heavier than water with densities greater than 1 gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm<sub>3</sub>) which means they can penetrate deeply into an aquifer. Some physical and chemical properties of most widely used chlorinated solvents are listed in Table 2.

| − | They are relatively volatile compounds with relatively high [[wikipedia:Henry’s Law|Henry’s Law]] constants(K<sub>H</sub>, a measure of the strength of partitioning from water into air). Generally, when K<sub>H</sub> for a compound exceeds 0.2 atmosphere/mole fraction (atm/M), they can readily be removed from water by air stripping it. Most chlorinated solvents can be classified as sparingly soluble in water, with aqueous solubilities generally on the order of 10s to 100s of mg/L (Table 2). As the number of chlorine atoms on a compound increases, the solubility decreases. Because of their relatively low solubilities, chlorinated solvents dissolve slowly in groundwater. Another consequence of their limited solubility is their tendency to occur in the subsurface as a separate immiscible liquid phase which, because of its density compared to water, tends to sink in groundwater. Under these conditions, these are referred to as [[wikipedia:DNAPL|dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL)]]. Although chlorinated solvents are not very soluble in water, their solubility is typically orders of magnitude greater than their established [http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants/#Organic drinking water standards].

Log K<sub>ow</sub> values less than 3 indicate that the compound does not sorb strongly to aquifer solids, but can be removed readily by activated carbon. On the other hand, compounds with log K<sub>ow</sub> less than 2, such as VC, generally are not removed well by activated carbon either. <ref name="CS 2010">Cwiertny, D. M. and M.M. Scherer, 2010.

| − | Since most of the commonly used chlorinated solvents are classified as “known” or “potential” carcinogens; they are regulated with strict drinking water standards (also referred as [http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants/#Organic maximum contaminant levels [MCLs<nowiki>]</nowiki>]]). Many chlorinated solvents are considered to present health risks if ingested in drinking water at concentrations greater than 5 micrograms per liter (µg/L) (5 parts per billion<nowiki> [ppb]</nowiki>). Also, due to their relatively high volatility, vapors from groundwater plumes can also pose unacceptable risks at some sites. When the MCL is compared to concentrations of hundreds or thousands of ppb that are commonly observed in groundwater at chlorinated solvent sites, it becomes apparent that even a small release can lead to a significant environmental problem. Today, it is recognized that there are thousands of public and private sites with chlorinated solvent related groundwater contamination problems. The groundwater plumes we see today were largely caused by releases that occurred in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, illustrating the persistent long-term aspects of the chlorinated solvent problem .<ref name="Sale et al 2008">Sale T., Newell C., Stroo H., Hinchee R., and Johnson P. 2008.

| − | ===Fate and Transport===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The physical, chemical and biological properties of chlorinated solvents and the nature of the subsurface media through which the compounds are migrating affect their fate and transport in the environment and potential remediation strategies. Figure 1 illustrates a typical distribution of chlorinated solvents discharged into subsurface. The solvent migrates down through the [[wikipedia:Vadose zone|unsaturated (vadose) zone]], probably leaving some residual solvent behind as it follows the path of least resistance. Eventually, it may encounter groundwater that forms the aquifer of a potential groundwater supply. Since the chlorinated solvents are denser than water, the downward movement continues within the subsurface via gravity along a permeable pathway, potentially spreading laterally or changing directions as less permeable material is encountered. Soils and aquifer solids containing sand and gravel material that is relatively large in diameter and relatively porous, allows good passage of both water and chlorinated solvent liquids through them. <ref name="M 2010">McCarty P.L. 2010.

| − | Other subsurface materials such as silts and clays are very fine and may be relatively impervious to water and solvents. Chlorinated solvents migrating vertically downward are subject to a variety of influences including capillary forces imposed by the various types of subsurface soils that are encountered, and organic carbon content in soils. When chlorinated solvents meet clay layers in their downward migration, they may pool on top of the clay, sorb into the clays, and/or seek a downward passage around the clay layer. Even when chlorinated solvents encounter more permeable sand and gravel layers, they may be diverted into one or the other because of these influences.

| − | The liquid solvent (or DNAPL) present in soil, subsurface solids and groundwater represents the “source” of groundwater contamination. DNAPLs have very low aqueous solubilities that may exceed regulatory criteria by as much as five orders of magnitude <ref name="PC 1996"> Pankow, J.F. and Cherry, J.A., 1996. Dense Chlorinated Solvents and Other DNAPLs in Groundwater, Waterloo Press, Portland, OR. ISBN-10: 0964801418/ISBN-13: 978-0964801417 </ref>; as a result, these compounds only slowly dissolve in groundwater and act as long-term sources of groundwater contamination. Over time, constituents in DNAPL dissolve in water and/or volatilize into soil gas. This process leads to plume formation in transmissive zones where there is flow. At the same time, high concentrations of dissolved contaminants in transmissive zones drive contaminants into low permeability zones via diffusion. Within low permeability zones, contaminants are stored as a dissolved phase in water and as a sorbed phase on or in solids. The process of contaminants moving into low permeability layers via diffusion is referred to as matrix diffusion. The significance of contaminants in low permeability layers is that they can sustain dissolved plumes in transmissive zones long after the DNAPL source is gone.<ref>Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment (AFCEE). 2007.

| − | Transformations of TCA have been found to be even more complex as both abiotic and biotic processes are operable in its transformation.<ref>Vogel TM, McCarty PL. 1987. Abiotically 1,1,1-trichloroethane Environ Sci Technol 21:1208–1213.</ref> Abiotically, TCA can be transformed into 1,1-dichloroethene (1,1-DCE) by removal of one chlorine atom and one hydrogen atom (dehydrohalogenation), or into acetic acid through hydrolysis reactions. The rate of transformation to acetic acid is about four times that of 1,1-DCE. Formation of 1,1-DCE is harmful as this compound is much more toxic than TCA itself, while formation of acetic acid is beneficial as this is a normal compound in the human diet and readily degraded biologically. The half-life for TCA transformation to the two different products is on the order of two years, a relatively short time when compared to the residence time of groundwater contaminants. Thus, 1,1-DCE is generally found in groundwater contaminated with TCA. TCA can also be transformed biologically by reductive dehalogenation to form 1,1-dichloroethane (1,1-DCA), which can be further reduced to chloroethane. Chloroethane can be further reduced biologically to form ethane, although chemical hydrolysis to form ethanol is generally faster. <ref name="M 2010">McCarty, 2010.

Electrolytic model system for reductive dehalogenation in aqueous enviroments. Environ Sci Technol 25:973–978.</ref> The abiotic processes, however, generally require the presence of a reducing agent of some type, and thus abiotic transformations do not often occur spontaneously as with TCA. Many of the CT transformation intermediates are unstable and do not last long. The main compound of concern found present from CT transformation, either abiotic or biotic, is chloroform. This too can be transformed by both abiotic and biotic processes, although generally much slower than CT.<ref name="M 2010">McCarty, 2010.

| − | == APPLICABLE REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGIES ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Because of their physico-chemical properties, most chlorinated solvents are relatively recalcitrant in the subsurface, posing challenges for remediation. Fortunately, a number of ex situ and in situ approaches can be used are available to address chlorinated solvent contamination. However, the choice of which technology to implement is very site specific. It is important to thoroughly characterize the site to make a thorough evaluation and comparison of the remediation options and select an appropriate approach with a high probability of success. At a minimum, site characterization should provide information on: 1) the target chlorinated solvent(s); 2) the expected fate and transport of these contaminants based on their chemical properties; 3) the current sitewide biogeochemistry; 4) the sitewide hydrogeology and its influence on both the lateral and vertical extent of the contamination; 5) the remedial goals and objectives of the cleanup; 6) the schedule constraints; and 7) the available budget.

| − | ===For Soil===
| |
| − | ====Ex Situ Treatment Technologies for Soil====
| |
| − | *Excavation and Off-site Disposal. Applicable to vadose zone (unsataturated) soils. Vertical and lateral access to the contaminated material by excavators is key for this removal approach.
| |
| − | *Excavation and On-site Mobile Steam Distillation. Applicable to vadose zone and saturated soils. Vertical and lateral access to the contaminated material by excavators is key for this removal approach. Soils are heated to above the boiling point of the contaminants, then contaminants are then removed through condensation, leaving the soil solvent-free. Soils can then be returned to the excavation.
| |
| − | ====In Situ Treatment Technologies for Soil====
| |
| − | *VOS (Vadose Oil Substrate). VOS® is a technology that helps microbes breakdown chlorinated solvents in the vadose zone before they reach groundwater. VOS technology is based on emulsified oil technology used for treating groundwater, but in this approach, VOS is injected into the unsaturated soil to create a long-lasting treatment zone that promotes anaerobic reductive dechlorination. *Soil Vacuum Extraction (SVE). Applicable to vadose zone soil with moderate to high permeability. Relies on a compound’s ability to partition from where it is adsorbed to the soil into to soil gas where it can be vacuum extracted under pressure and discharged or treated before discharge.
| |
| − | *Vitrification. Involves applying and electrical current to the contaminated soil matrix to solidify the matrix and bind the contamination in place.
| |
| − | ===For Groundwater===
| |
| − | ====Ex Situ Treatment Technologies for Groundwater====
| |
| − | *Aggressive Fluid Vacuum Recovery (AFVR). Applicable to localized areas of groundwater containing elevated concentrations of chlorinated solvents including DNAPL. Involves short-term mechanical removal of groundwater by vacuum extraction. Contaminated groundwater is disposed off site.
| |
| − | *Pump and Treat (P&T) with Discharge, Air Stripping (AS) or Carbon Adsorption (CA). Typically applied where hydraulic control of contaminant migration is desirable along with contaminant removal. Discharging contaminated water or treated water to a receiving feature (e.g., stream, wasterwater treatment plant) may require a permit. Air stripping may require off-gas treatment; carbon adsorption cells must be monitored for breakthrough and replacement.
| |
| − | ====In Situ Treatment Technologies for Groundwater====
| |
| − | *Physical Approaches (Thermal). Thermal treatment involves inserting heating probes into the contaminated aquifer with the intent of raising the temperature above the boiling point of the contaminant to drive the contamination from the aqueous phase into the vapor phase. As the contaminated vapor migration upward into the overlying unsaturated soil, it is then captured by SVE for removal.
| |
| − | *Chemical Approaches (In Situ Chemical Oxidation [ISCO], In Situ Chemical Reduction [ISCR]). ISCO uses strong chemical oxidizers (e.g., potassium permanganate, sodium persulfate, Fenton’s Reagent, or ozone) to destroy the contaminants in place. ISCR is the combination of abiotic chemical reduction using zero valent iron (ZVI) and/or reduced minerals coupled with anerobic bioremediation to treat chlorinated solvent contamination in groundwater.
| |
| − | *Biological (Enhanced Reductive Dechlorination [ERD], Co-metabolism, Monitored Natural Attenuation [MNA]). Biological approaches serve to stimulate specific native or inoculated microbial communities in the metabolic removal of chlorine from the solvent yielding non-toxic end-products.

The ability to adapt to changing habitat conditions as a result of climate change will differ across individual species and between populations. Some wildlife species may be more vulnerable to climate change than other species (Figure 1). Vulnerability is often linked to particular life-history traits (e.g., specialized habitat needs or limited dispersal abilities, see Pacifici et al. 2015P<ref>Pacifici, M., Foden, W., and Visconti, P., 2015. Assessing species vulnerability to climate change. Nature Climate Change 5, pp. 215-225. [https://doi.org/10.1038/nclimate2448 doi: 10.1038/nclimate2448]</ref> for a review on species vulnerability to climate change) or genetic composition. For example, grassland birds may be more vulnerable to changing climate than forest birds as forests can buffer change more so than grasslands<ref>Jarzyna, M. A., Zuckerberg, B., Finley, A. O., and Porter, W. F., 2016. Synergistic effects of climate change and land cover: grassland birds are more vulnerable to climate change. Landscape Ecology, 31(10), pp. 2275-2290.

[//www.enviro.wiki/images/5/56/IPCC2001.pdf Report pdf]</ref>, though there are some species coping with climate change or benefitting from environmental change. For example, American kestrels (Falco sparverius) have shifted their breeding phenology to earlier in the year and may now raise two broods of young within a breeding season<ref>Smith, S.

The effects of climate change across a species’ range will most likely not be homogenous, meaning it can vary substantially, especially if a species’ range spans across different continents as exhibited by many migratory birds. Other changes in habitat include shifting vegetation (i.e., tree-lines are shifting to higher elevations), changes in nutrients in plants, earlier snowmelt and run-off, increase in invasive species, warming of streams and rivers, reduction or degradation of habitat (i.e., glacial melt), and an increase in large wildfires<ref>Barbero, R., Abatzoglou, J. T., Larkin, N. K., Kolden, C. A., and Stocks, B., 2015. Climate change presents increased potential for very large fires in the contiguous United States.

Cold-water fish such as inland North American species are highly affected with the warming of streams and rivers<ref name=":3" />. Amphibians are highly sensitive to their environment and changes in temperature and moisture can affect development, range, abundance, and phenology<ref>Blaustein, A.R., Walls, S.C., Bancroft, B.A., Lawler, J.J., Searle, C.L., and Gervasi, S.S., 2010.

In reptiles, climate change effects can alter thermoregulation patterns, affect female reproduction and in some species, change sex ratios with increasing temperature<ref name=":1" />. Furthermore, for many bird species the timing of migration and other phenological events are affected by climate change<ref>Crick, H. Q. P., 2004. The impact of climate change on birds.

Range shifts, growth size, and survival are linked to climate change for mammals<ref name=":1" />. Arctic marine mammals are closely linked to sea ice dynamics and a changing climate will affect these dynamics<ref>Kovacs, K. M., Lydersen, C., Overland, J. E., and Moore, S. E., 2011.
