Core Ideas OZCAR is a network of sites studying the critical zone. covers various disciplines. will help disciplines to work together for better representation and modeling The French zone initiative, called (Observatoires de la Zone Critique–Application et Recherche or Critical Observatories–Application Research) National Research Infrastructure (RI). OZCAR‐RI instrumented sites, bringing 21 pre‐existing research observatories monitoring different compartments situated between “the rock...
Emerging contaminants are a growing concern for scientists and public authorities. The group of per-polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as 'forever chemicals', in complex environmental liquid solid matrices was analysed this study. development global analytical methods based on combustion ion chromatography (CIC) is expected to provide accurate picture the overall PFAS contamination level via determination extractable organic fluorine (EOF) adsorbable (AOF). obtained results may be put...
Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) is one of the most investigated Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for being strongest compound to eliminate having adverse health concerns. In this work, we have conducted sonochemical treatment PFOS simulated water under high (500 kHz) low (22 frequencies while monitoring operational parameters via an integrated system. The advanced system includes software monitor power, solution temperature frequency allowing distinctive control reaction...
In France, two-thirds of the water withdrawn for drinking supply comes from groundwater (OFB, 2017), hence monitoring PFAS is essential to document spatial distribution, dynamics and anticipate potential impacts on quality.A good resolution in term extend, frequency, analytic performance crucial better understand sources, pathways impacts. We propose a focus regulatory where an increasing number compounds have been regulated monitoring, going 6 2015 20 2022, compliance with European Drinking...
Confined aquifers, generally more protected from anthropogenic pressure, present potential alternative water resources of good quality to surface and subsurface resources. However, their exploitation, potentially affecting the resource in a long-term way, requires understanding functioning ensure sustainable management. In order gain some processes involved confined we here results obtained multilayered Beauce limestone aquifer, Centre region France. This aquifer is already heavily exploited...
A leakage of CO2 from a geological storage site into an aquifer exploited for human use could raise concerns about potential changes groundwater quality. We the reactive transport code TOUGH2-ECO2N/TOUGHREACT in order to apprehend possible geochemical mechanisms that affect freshwater aquifer. Our model is based on mineralogical and features existing glauconitic-sandstone aquifer, which trace elements bearing minerals are added average proportions found similar mineralogies. The computes...
Contamination of fresh groundwater is one the environmental issues Carbon Capture and Storage. We simulate with reactive transport code TOUGHREACT intrusion CO2+ impurities from oxycombustion capture in a freshwater aquifer model based on glauconitic sandstone aquifer. choose an unfavorable scenario where contaminant gas presents maximal contents SOx, NOx O2. Water quality changes after 10 years are exposed. French standards pH, Fe, Mn sulphates concentrations for drinking water reminded...
The Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires EU member states to assess the chemical status of groundwater bodies, a defined according threshold values for harmful elements and based on/the natural background level (NBL). NBL is as expected value concentration naturally present in environment. aim this study propose methodology that will be broadly applicable wide range conditions at regional national scale. Using statistical approach, seeks determine NBLs SO4, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn, F on...
Abstract Natural accumulations and releases of CO 2 provide the opportunity to study trapping migration mechanisms, potential impacts leaks, monitoring tools assess geological storage anthropogenic . Previous studies on deep reservoir Montmiral (France), focusing soil gases, groundwater, as well fluids, did not detect any signs leaks despite high fluxes suspiciously δ 13 C values have been stated. In order further investigate whether some has leaked from toward surface, we focus here major...
Evidence to date indicates that leakage is of low probability if site selection, characterisation and storage project design are undertaken correctly. In Europe, the Storage Directive (EC, 2009) provides a legislative framework, implemented by Member States, which requires appropriate ensure CO2 permanent safe. However, it incumbent on operators demonstrate an understanding potential impacts surface ecosystems should leak occur. The RISCS (Research into Impacts Safety in Storage) has...
Abstract Background Avène Thermal Spring Water (TSW) exhibits therapeutic properties in the treatment of skin pathologies. Arising from a dolomitic aquifer system, its physico‐chemical are well‐established and bacteriological quality regularly monitored. The microbiota this have been characterized. Objectives We aimed to describe structure bacterial community inhabiting deep examine dynamics over time. Methods TSW was collected at catchment point filtered through 0.1 µm pore size filters....
