Plume: The area taken up by contaminant(s) in an aquifer.
Pluvial: Pertaining to precipitation.
POE-treatment: Point-Of-Entry treatment. Total water treatment at the inlet to an entire building or facility.
Plume
1. A visible or measurable discharge of a contaminant from a given point of origin. Can be visible or thermal in water, or visible in the air as, for example, a plume of smoke. 2 The area of radiation leaking from a damaged reactor. 3.
Plume: In groundwater a plume is an underground pattern of contaminant concentrations created by the movement of groundwater beneath a contaminant source. Contaminants spread mostly laterally in the direction of groundwater movement.
Plume
A volume of a substance that moves from its source to places farther away from the source. Plumes can be described by the volume of air or water they occupy and the direction they move.
Plume - A plume is a visible smoke-like structure, which may contain pollutants emitted from an exhaust or smoke stack and released into the atmosphere.
plume exposure pathway A term referring to whole body external exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and from deposited materials and inhalation exposure from the passing radioactive plume.
Plume: A visible or measurable discharge of a contaminant body from a given point of origin. Can be a visible body of pollution such as smoke coming from a stack or a measured amount such as heat in water coming from a power plant boiler.
Plume
A body of contaminated groundwater flowing from a specific source.
plumes. The way polluted water extends downstream from
the pollution source (analogous to smoke from a smoke-
stack as it drifts downwind in the atmosphere).
Vapor Plumes: Flue gases visible because they contain water droplets.
Plume: A body of contaminated groundwater or vapour originating from a specific source and influenced by certain factors such as local groundwater or soil vapour flow patterns and character of the aquifer.
Plume
A concentration of contaminants in air, soil, or water usually extending from a distinct source.
Plume - An area of chemicals moving away from its source in a long band or column. A plume, for example, can be a column of smoke from a chimney or chemicals moving with groundwater.

Pollution Plume: an area of a stream or aquifer containing degraded water resulting from migration of a pollutant. It extends from the source of contamination to another point in the direction of the water flow.
Expanding Plume
The situation where a groundwater plume is continuing to move outward or downgradient from the source area.
Explosive Limits ...
Oil Plumes Underwater globules of oil that do not float to the surface of the ocean. Scientists say microscopic oil droplets are forming these deep water oil bubbles.
plume The area occupied by a ground-water contaminant after it has begun to spread, through diffusion or other forces, away from its point of origin. point source A stationary source or fixed facility from which pollutants are discharged.

BOD- Biochemical Oxygen Demand.
Toxic Cloud: Airborne plume of gases, vapors, fumes, or aerosols containing toxic materials.
Toxic Concentration: The concentration at which a substance produces a toxic effect.
plume In water terms, the extent or boundary of the spread of underground soil or water contamination. In air, a visible emission from a flue or chimney. point source A stationary location where pollutants are discharged.
