DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Many localities across the Unites States rely upon groundwater as the source of drinking water. In our industrialized society, pollution threatens the groundwater supply and, therefore, poses a significant health risk to the population. This Phase I SBIR research proposal offers an innovative solution to current inadequacies in groundwater monitoring. With the proposed sampling membranes, it will be possible to better characterize a contaminated site before remediation begins by providing more cost-effective and timely data. Once remediation begins, the same tools can be used to actively monitor the status of the remediation and allow site managers to make better decisions about remediation strategies. In addition, both of these options can be employed at a significantly lower cost than current technologies. The proposed samplers are passive devices that can be easily deployed in the subsurface using either state-of-the-art direct push technology or conventional drilling. Also, the samplers can be retrofit into existing monitoring wells, making it possible to convert antiquated wells to state-of-the-art technology.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国许多地方依赖地下水作为饮用水源。 在我们的工业化社会中，污染威胁着地下水供应，因此对人们构成了重大的健康风险。 第一阶段 SBIR 研究提案为当前地下水监测的不足提供了创新的解决方案。 使用所提出的采样膜，可以通过提供更具成本效益和及时的数据，在修复开始之前更好地描述污染场地的特征。 修复开始后，可以使用相同的工具来主动监控修复的状态，并允许站点管理人员就修复策略做出更好的决策。 此外，这两种选择的使用成本都比现有技术低得多。 所提出的采样器是无源设备，可以使用最先进的直推技术或传统钻井轻松部署在地下。 此外，采样器可以改装到现有的监测井中，从而可以将陈旧的井改造为最先进的技术。
