USGS Water Seminar Series – The HOPs you don’t want in your beer: Hydrocarbon Oxidation Products – a new class of emerging contaminants?
Presented by: Barbara Bekins, US Geological Survey Emerita Scientist Abstract: Where spilled oil and fuel contaminate groundwater, regulators require measurements of a few specific hydrocarbons (e.g. benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes) as well as total petroleum hydrocarbons in the diesel range (TPHd). Unfortunately, our research revealed that TPHd measures only about one-third of the nonvolatile dissolved organic compounds (NVDOC) migrating […]
