The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), is screening hazardous waste sites for contaminants in water and soil. Portable or field-deployable spectroscopic instruments are needed for rapid screening of RCRA sites. The authors are carrying out spectroscopic research on the fluorescence and phosphorescence of PAHs, PCBs and uranium.
