Measurement of retardation factors for contaminated aquifer materials / by M.W. Priddle, R.E. Jackson and R.J. Patterson.: En13-5/88-92E-PDF
"This paper describes a laboratory procedure that has been developed to simulate the migration of organic chemicals in groundwater. Aquifer material from the Gloucester Landfill is repacked in laboratory columns and contaminated water is passed through. By monitoring the concentration of these contaminants in the effluent, retardation factors can be derived. It is these factors that determine how fast a particular contaminant will travel with respect to the average groundwater flow velocity"--Executive Summary.
