Abstract
Abstract A prototype overland flow land treatment system was studied to determine its effectiveness in reducing the levels of volatile trace organics in municipal wastewater. Chlorinated primary wastewater, water collected from the surface at various points downslope and runoff were analyzed by GC/MS using a purge and trap sampler. Results indicated that efficient removal of a number of volatile substances including chloroform and toluene can be achieved by this method of treatment. Loss of these substances was found to follow first order kinetics. The observed behavior is consistent with a volatilization process.
