Monitored Natural Attenuation

Biology, Biomedical, Paleontology, Bioremediation & Archaeology

GWERD scientists have led the way in developing EPA's approach for applying and assessing monitored natural attenuation (MNA) as a cleanup tool for organic and inorganic contaminants in groundwater. MNA can work with other more active remedial tools at some sites where biogeochemical conditions favor natural processes that degrade or immobilize harmful contaminants.
