Hydrocarbon Contamination Shallow Surface


HYDROCARBON CONTAMINATION SHALLOW SURFACE
When petroleum fuel hydrocarbons are released to the shallow surface they may partition (or separate) into four phases (physical states): Vapor Phase Residual Phase Dissolved Phase Free Phase Lyle G. Bruce, Amoco Corporation, Ground Water Management Services, 1993
	In order to comprehensively assess a petroleum fuel hydrocarbon contaminated site, the three-dimensional subsurface distribution of all four phases must be thoroughly defined through collection, analyses, and interpretation of data from vapor, soil, groundwater, and product media.
