Lessons Learned About the Nature of Groundwater Contamination by PAHs: A Case History–Based Discussion

Abstract: Observations taken during the investigation and remediation of a water supply borehole contaminated by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are used to discuss how existing methods can define such contamination. In this example, the PAH originated from carbon black used in a manufacturing process. The extent of the contamination was investigated and the flow path for the pollutants to enter the borehole identified. Two attempts were made to destroy the contaminants using hydrogen peroxide following differen… Show more

“…The detection, identification, quantification and monitoring the presence of these substances in groundwater and soil are important due to their detrimental effects and these environmental contaminants have been studied extensively (e.g. Brassington 2013;Han et al 2013;Commendatore et al 2012;Liang et al 2012;Thavamani et al 2012;Zhang et al 2012;Li et al 2010;Fengpeng et al 2009;Kordybach et al 2009;Zhu et al 2008;Atanassova and Brummer 2004;Chen et al 2004). The various PAHs compounds in groundwater occur primarily in two forms, directly dissolved in the water or in the form of dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL).…”
