The Contaminant Hydrogeology - Geological Engineering laboratory is housed in BH 404. The laboratory has ~ 700 ft2 of working space. Mainly, water quality analyses and experiments associated with investigations of natural and polluted groundwater and stream systems, chemical-enhanced remediation, and theoretical mass transfer are conducted in this laboratory. The laboratory is equipped for a variety of organic and inorganic chemical analysis, and is outfitted with the usual wet-lab facilities, glassware and measuring devices. In addition, the lab also maintains the following instruments:

Fume hood rated for organic and acid vapors (80-100 fpm).
Computer-controlled Shimadzu GC-17a gas chromatograph with flame-ionization detector (FID), 1500-sample AOC-20s auto sampler, and AOC-20i auto-injector.
Computer-controlled Shimadzu GC-8a gas chromatograph with thermal conductivity detector (TCD).
Photovac Field gas chromatograph with photo-ionization detector (PID).
Hach bacterial incubator, DREL 2000 Portable Water Quality Lab, Mel P/A Safe Drinking Water Analysis Kit, other Hach portable water-analysis instruments for metals and inorganic nutrients.
