Controlling carbon could threaten water quality
August 27, 2009

The EPA is soliciting public comments on geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide. It has been proposed that carbon dioxide could be removed from the atmosphere and stored in underground rock formations. One of the possible fields of concern is that carbon dioxide trapped underground could seep into deep aquifers and alter the pH balance of the water stored there and possibly cause other chemicals to migrate into the water supply. Given the considerable amount of work we do in the clean-water sector, issues like carbon sequestration are high on our radar screen. We are already work with communities and industrial water users to install pH monitors for their water supplies.
