Temporal changes in kerosene content and composition in field soil as a result of leaching

摘要

A field experiment was designed to determine the combined effect of leaching and natural attenuation on the redistribution dynamics of kerosene-a volatile petroleum hydrocarbon mixture (VPHM)-and of its elected individual components in the soil subsurface. Variables included the composition of contaminant spilled, the soil water content before contamination and the leaching pattern.
