Abstract
Quality of deep groundwater is threatened by contamination from so-called Dense NonAqueous Phase Liquids (DNAPL), spilled from halogenated cleaning and degreasing solvents and from the in situ produced biodegradation intermediates. Known are tetrachloroethylene (PER) and trichloroethylene (TRI) and the toxic biodegradation product vinyl chloride (VC); all compounds are volatile. DNAPL migration is hard to detect directly and even more hard to predict due to structural heterogeneity, soil composition, and the groundwater flow patterns.
