Impact/Purpose:

The objective of this study was to characterize the chlorinated-solvent content of soil at various depths using membrane interface probe (MIP) technology in conjunction with a field-deployed gas chromatograph. The use of this real-time technology aided in a more rapid characterization of chlorinated solvent source areas for the site.

Description:

This study used a field-deployed gas chromatograph and a direct-push membrane interface probe (MIP) to give real-time characterization of the chlorinated-solvent content of soil at various depths. Soil was screened at one-foot intervals from one to 62 feet below land surface at approximately five locations. The main contaminant of concern for the site was perchloroethylene (PCE).
