  overall_research_project_description: '1,4-Dioxane is a likely carcinogen and common groundwater contaminant due to its wide presence in industrial and home products.  Many products are disposed of in landfills.  To prevent solid waste in landfills contaminating groundwater, landfills are usually contained by bottom liners.  The objective of this project is to determine the 1,4-dioxane transport characteristics through the bottom liners such as the breakthrough time.  We welcome one UROP scholar to participate in this research project.  Professor Tang and his graduate student will supervise the UROP scholar.  The graduate student will provide most of the direct supervision.  '
