An active program of research on subsurface processes has been established in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto. The focus of the research is the transport of pathogens in the subsurface, and the development of innovative methods for remediation of groundwater contamination. In particular, projects are ongoing or planned on pathogen transport in fractured rock, bioremediation of organic compounds in fractured rock, and remediation of chlorinated solvent contamination with nanoscale zero valent iron (NZVI). In all of these projects attachment and detachment processes are of fundamental importance, whether it be bacteria and viruses in pathogen transport, biofilms in bioremediation, or NZVI in chlorinated solvent remediation.

多伦多大学土木工程系已建立了一个地下过程的研究计划。研究的重点是病原体在地下的传播，以及开发修复地下水污染的创新方法。特别是，正在进行或计划进行的项目涉及断裂岩石中的病原体迁移、断裂岩石中有机化合物的生物修复以及用纳米级零价铁修复氯化溶剂污染。在所有这些项目中，附着和分离过程都具有根本的重要性，无论是病原体运输中的细菌和病毒，生物修复中的生物膜，还是氯化溶剂修复中的NZVI。
