After emergencies involving chemical spills it is of great importance that correct measures are taken with short notice, both for the security of people and in order to minimize future environmental consequences. The RIB-unit at the Swedish Rescue Services Agency initiated this study, the aim of which is to propose changes to the existing chemical transport calculation tool: Chemical Spill 3.4, included in RIB - Integrated Decision Support for Civil Protection, so that it can be used for decision support as well as in preventive work. A rough estimation of chemical transport in the subsurface is considered being of great importance when making decisions during emergency response operations.The proposition presented in this report is a non site specific chemical transport model which is designed to give a rough estimation of NAPL flow in homogenous isotropic soil shortly after an instantaneous release. The model can be used at two levels; both in situations without access to information on subsurface properties, and with more accuracy in situations with knowledge of the included parameters. For that reason the user can choose among predefined alternatives or assign the parameters a numeric value to increase the quality of the model output.

Ingen vätska kan ersätta vatten och utan vatten kan inget liv existera. Markens fysikaliska egenskaper och kemiska förhållanden styr spridningen av de föroreningsämnen som före¬kommer i mark och i vatten.Katrineholms kommun vill i framtiden kunna utnyttja vattenmagasinen i Forssjö. Ett antal observationsrör har placerats i Forssjö, vilket är beläget cirka 8 km sydost om Katrineholm. I dagsläget används inte GIS i kommunen och detta gjorde att jag blev intresserad av vilka möjligheter som GIS skulle kunna tillföra med utgångspunkt i den brunnsdatabas med vatten¬kvalitetsmätningar som finns i kommunen.Detta examensarbete består av två delar. Den första delen granskar risken för föroreningar från den del av väg 52 mellan Katrineholm och Nyköping som passerar Katrineholmsåsen sydost om Katrineholm.

Chlorinated solvent are volatile organic substances that can be harmful for humans and for the environment. Examples of common chlorinated solvents are perchloroethene, PCE, and trichloroethene, TCE. Chlorinated solvents appear as contaminants in soils primarily where they have been used as washing fluids in dry-cleaning facilities or as degreasers in metal industries. Chlorinated solvents are DNAPLs (dense non-aqueous phase liquids), which means that they are not easily dissolved in water and that they sink to the bottom of the aquifer. Adsorption to soils is low so chlorinated solvents are mobile in soils.
