Potential Production of CH3CL in an Instream Denitrifying Woodchip Bioreactor
| Défi: | Environnement | | Catégorie: | Sénior | | Région: | Waterloo-Wellington | | Ville: | New Hamburg, ON | | École: | Cameron Heights C.I. | | Sommaire: | Potential side effects of bioreactors used for nitrate removal include production of greenhouse gases and methyl mercury. Degradation of bioreactor materials by white-rot could also result in production of methyl chloride, known to deplete ozone. Microbial and chemical analysis determined that neither white-rot fungi nor methyl chloride were present in the bioreactor studied. It is unlikely this type of bioreactor contributes to ozone depletion. |
