Contaminant Focus

Introduction

EPA understands that site owners and other parties involved in remedial activities need information in a variety of formats. Cleanup information may, for example, be organized according to site types, technologies, or environmental media. The CLU-IN Contaminant Focus area bundles information associated with the cleanup of individual contaminants and contaminant groups. This information is presented in categories such as Policy and Guidance, Chemistry and Behavior, Environmental Occurrence, Toxicology, Detection and Site Characterization, Treatment Technologies, and Conferences and Seminars. Contaminant Focus not only draws upon existing resources from the CLU-IN Technology Focus area and the broader CLU-IN Web site, but also links to sources of contaminant-specific information that were not previously cited or available on CLU-IN. Contaminant Focus will be continuously updated with information from federal cleanup programs, state sources, universities, nonprofit organizations, peer-reviewed publications, and public-private partnerships. We welcome any suggestions you may have for new topics or additional resources.

If Contaminant Focus does not address a contaminant or contaminant group of interest to you, we suggest visiting our General Contaminant Information resources.
