Abstract |
This paper describes laboratory experiments that studied the fate of jet fuel in several types of situations that could be encountered in the field. Benzene, toluene, and p-xylene were the only components of the fuel that dissolved in the water to significant concentrations. All three compounds volatilized within 24 h and, thus, did not remain in the water long enough for microbial degradation to affect their fate. Inclusion of sediment (500 mg/l dry weight) did not retard the disappearance of the fuel components, and rates of disappearance were identical in controls sterilized with HgCl2. |
