Abstract |
This technically oriented study was designed to derive a PCB concentration profile in a spill area two years after the occurrence of the spill. Many months of field work and laboratory analysis were spent to examine numerous environmental factors to determine the fate of PCB and benzenes in the natural environment. The area, under investigation for migration and/or degradation was found virtually unchanged while the solvent had continued to leach into the underground water. There was, however, no evidence of permanent environmental damage detected in the spill area. |
