Protection of Surface and Ground Water Quality by Utilizing Waste Disposal Sites on Soils That Are Not Prone to Oxidize Chromium to a Toxic Form
Funder: Interdisciplinary Research Initiatives Program, Texas A&M University
This multidisciplinary project looked at the interaction of chromium (Cr) from waste drilling fluids with various soils that may alter the form of Cr, resulting in a more or less hazardous Cr form. A policy analysis team conducted a literature search and stakeholder analysis to determine what is necessary to transfer this knowledge into best practice.
Research team members included Drs. Joe Dixon (soil and crop science) and Arnold Vedlitz (ISTPP/political science).
