Initial claims said that the
plume is just surface ice evaporating because of sunlight.
Since 1976, when contamination concerns were first identified, the
plume has spread and is currently threatening over 20 additional public drinking wells that serve over 250,000 Nassau County residents in Bethpage, Massapequa, South Farmingdale and Wantagh Districts.
The newly imaged
plume rises about 62 miles (100 kilometers) above Europa's surface, while the one observed in 2014 was estimated to be about 30 miles (50 kilometers) high.
Charge-gas entrainment by the
plumes, was found to create a central recirculation region, which promotes
plume interaction and eventual collapse.
EPA have identified Extraction and Treatment at
Plume Core with Containment at
Plume Toe and institutional controls as the remedy to address the PCE contamination in groundwater at the site, according to the ROD statement.
Surgical
plume has been shown to cause an inflammatory response, specifically acute and chronic alveolar congestion, interstitial pneumonia and bronchiolitis in the lungs of rats.
Barrett and Garber (2004) note that the chemicals present in largest quantities in electrocautery
plume include hydrocarbons, nitriles, fatty acids and phenols.
Shelling out about $200,000 for a corner storefront, the couple moved from Denver to Silver
Plume in 2013.
For the facilities that do see it as a problem and work to fix it, leaders are met with a menu of solutions, like
plume capture devices and evacuators, she said.
The responses were the following: ignoring the
plume (normal swimming or no response) (Fig.
The Hubble discovery makes Europa only the second moon in the solar system known to have water vapor
plumes.
In each layer, the temperature inside the rising
plumes is different than the homogenous surrounding air temperature zone and from the wall
plume air temperature.
