| Abstract |
Widespread contamination of ground water by a variety of synthetic organic compounds has created a need for information about the biotransformation of these contaminants in aquifers and associated regions of the unsaturated subsurface. Uncontaminated samples of the subsurface were taken from positions immediately above and below the water table at Pickett, OK, and Fort Polk, LA. Selected organic pollutants were added aseptically to the samples at an initial concentration of 1 mg/liter water. Microbes in the deeper subsurface can degrade some, but not all, of the organic pollutants commonly encountered in ground water. |
