Abstract
In this paper it will be demonstrated that conventional measures used to characterize contaminant concentration reduction are impractical an d inadequate to describe the important case of a contaminant cloud. A new measure, the expected-mass-fraction function, is developed and sho wn to have desirable experimental and theoretical features. Some conta minant plume data is used to illustrate the application of this new me asure.
