✦ Synopsis

The thermal water from the well MT-4 in Northeast Slovenia contains many organic micropollutants of geogenic origin because of the nearby oil fields. Therefore, a special technological treatment was necessary to make the water suitable for bathing: consisting of flocculation, sand filtration, and adsorption on granular activated carbon. We managed to remove not only all potentially toxic ( ) organic substances, but also the mesophilic bacteria CFU as well as sulfite reducing bacteria. On the other hand, all the important physical chemical parameters of water remained practically unchanged. In this way a hygienic water quality for balneological purposes was obtained.

Lauritzen Canal, a portion of San Francisco Bay near Richmond, California, USA, was heavily contaminated with dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and dieldrin as a result of releases from a pesticide-formulating firm. In 1996 and 1997, 82,000 m3 of contaminated sediment was removed from the canal
