Abstract
Sampling and Analytical Strategies for Delineating Petroleum Contaminated Soils and Ground Water
ABSTRACT
A critical evaluation of sampling and analytical strategies is demonstrated to be an integral part of a multidisciplinary approach to delineating petroleum contaminated soil and ground water. To ensure that appropriate data quality objectives are established, this evaluation is best initiated at the project design stage.
Described are studies of characterization of petroleum contaminated sites, from the perspective of environmental analytical chemists. The examples selected illustrate some commonly occurring problems and practical solutions pertaining to: (a) contamination of ground water and soils by leaking underground storage tanks; (b) discrepancies between analytical results for total petroleum hydrocarbons, volatile aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) and C5-30 hydrocarbon scans; and (c) chemical characterization of petroleum waste containing industrial solvents.
RESUME
Il est demontre qu'une evaluation critique des strategies d'echantillonnage et d'analyse fait partie integrante d'une approche multi-disciplinaire visant a delineer la contamination de sol et d'eau souterraine par du petrole. Afin d'assurer que des objectifs appropries soient etabli quant a la qualite des donnees, il est avantageux d'initier cette evaluation au stade d'etude du projet.
Des etudes de caracterisation de sites contamines par du petrole sont decrites, du point de vue de la chimie analytique environnementale. Les exemples selectionnes illustrent des problemes communs et des solutions pratiques ayant trait a: (a) la contamination d'eau souterraine et de sols par des citernes enfouies ayant des fuites; (b) les desaccords entre les resultats analytiques pour les hydrocarbures petroliers totaux, les hydrocarbures aromatiques volatiles (BTEX) et les chromatogrammes des hydrocarbures C5-30; et (c) la caracterisation des dechets petroliers contenant des solvants industriels.
