If a contaminant is found at a depth of 10cm in sediment with a concentration of 200 mg/kg and at 20cm with 150 mg/kg, calculate the average concentration between these two depths.
💡 Hint: Sum the concentrations and divide by two.
Given a retardation factor of 2 and a fluid flow speed of 1 cm/s, calculate the contaminant transport speed.
💡 Hint: Remember the retardation factor reduces the speed of transport.
