BTEX hydrocarbons

Figure 4.15a are LNAPL obtained from two adjacent sites with different histories, and representative unaltered regular unleaded and premium unleaded gasoline samples. High BTEX hydrocarbon concentrations in LNAPL and groundwater are often indicative of gasoline presence. A noticeable depletion in benzene and toluene is evident in the LNAPL samples as compared with unaltered dispensed gasoline,...
