Using Residential History and Groundwater Modeling to Examine Drinking Water Exposure and Breast Cancer

BACKGROUND Spatial analyses of case-control data have suggested a possible link between breast cancer and groundwater plumes in upper Cape Cod, Massachusetts. OBJECTIVE We integrated residential histories, public water distribution systems, and groundwater modeling within geographic information systems (GIS) to examine the association between exposure to drinking water that has been contamina...

Energy Consumption Modeling in Residential Buildings

In recent years, the issue of energy consumption modeling techniques in the building sector has been widely considered by researchers and managers. Researches indicate that energy consumption in residential sector is one of the main parts of the total consumption. Moreover, the urban residence is supposed as a significant consumer of energy in every country and therefore a focus for energy cons...

Estimating Residential Indoor Air Impacts Due to Groundwater Contamination

The reliability of making risk-based corrective action (RBCA) decisions using ASTM methods was evaluated. Indoor air quality (IAQ) testing results for 153 residential homes in 1998 at a site in Denver, Colo., were evaluated in this study. Decisions regarding groundwater remediation and indoor air mitigation in residences located over a shallow groundwater plume contaminated with chlorinated com...
