This study examined the feasibility of using surface catalyzed Fenton treatment to remediate soil and groundwater contaminated by the chlorinated ethers, bis(2-chloroethyl) ether (BCEE) and bis(2-chloroethoxy) methane (BCEM). Parameters that affect the contaminant loss rate such as porewater pH, hydrogen
