Soil and groundwater at abandoned industrial facilities (brown-field sites) in Canada remain contaminated by chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs), long after the use of these chemicals has ceased. Chlorinated organics are denser than water, causing subsurface contamination deep below the water table. Their intermediate by-products are believed to be potent carcinogens and are thus a major threat to groundwater resources. The success of many remediation strategies is limited by the difficulty of introducing a gas phase uniformly within VOC source zones below the water table, as would be necessary for transferring a VOC into the flowing gas phase or for supplying reactive gases (e.g., oxygen, hydrogen, methane) for use by contaminant-degrading bacteria.

加拿大废弃工业设施（棕地）的土壤和地下水在停止使用氯化挥发性有机化合物 (VOC) 很久之后仍然受到这些化学品的污染。氯化有机物的密度比水大，导致地下水位以下深处的地下污染。它们的中间副产品被认为是强效致癌物，因此对地下水资源构成重大威胁。许多修复策略的成功受到在地下水位以下 VOC 源区域内均匀引入气相的困难的限制，而这对于将 VOC 转移到流动气相或供应活性气体（例如氧气、氢气）是必要的。 、甲烷）供污染物降解细菌使用。
