steady state dilution attenuation factor DAF for the aquifer is 100. DAF = Concentra-
tion at source/concentration at receptor well. Source concentration 1200 mg/L
(a) What is the concentration of benzene at a receptor well after 2 years.
(b) What is the concentration of benzene at a receptor well in 2 years, if there is first
order decay at a rate of 0.01 (1/day).
