- First paper to identify the presence of reactive mineral intermediates and their importance for the abiotic transformation of recalcitrant contaminants such as chlorinated solvents, which in earlier work had been, incorrectly, assigned to reaction with clay mineral ferrous iron. This paper is the basis for a collaborative US-UK project, funded by the Strategic Environment Research Development Program (SERDP) of the US Departments of Defense and Energy and the US Environment Protection Agency (ER20-1357; $1.3mio), which aims to translate the paper's results into site management practices to enable and enhance abiotic attenuation under natural and transitional scenarios.
