PROBLEMS OF STUDYING GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION WITH PETROLEUM PRODUCTS

摘要

Subsurface contamination with petroleum products (oil) is one of the most important environmental problems. The paper presents two directions in studying the subsurface contamination with oil: 1 - research to assess contaminated sites including searching, observations, exploration, and remediation; 2 - investigations to design objects -potential contamination sources, principal goals of which are to estimate protective properties of the unsaturated zone and to determine the term of starting protective actions.
