Abstract
In-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) involves the introduction of a chemical oxidant into the subsurface for the purpose of transforming ground water and/or soil contaminants into less harmful chemical by-products (Huling and Pivetz, 2006; Rivas, 2006; Ferrarese et al., 2008; Kao et al., 2008). Often, ground water samples collected specifically to analyze organic contaminants may contain the oxidant and the organic contaminants in a binary mixture (Huling et al., 2011a; Johnson et al., 2012). When organic contaminants and oxidants are commingled in the ground water sample, there is significant potential for oxidative transformation of contaminants to occur after the sample is collected and the results of the sample analysis to become non-representative of in-situ conditions at the time of sampling. Consequently, the quality of the ground water sample may be compromised and a false negative result may occur.
