Course Description

Conventional analyses offered through commercial environmental labs are driven by regulated parameters, which don’t always answer questions with complex co-mingled and weathered petroleum hydrocarbon plumes.  In addition to BTEX, VPH, LEPH and PAHs analyses, forensic analysis of LNAPL samples helped identify the likely source of contamination at the site.

The basic principles of forensic analysis using a suite of petroleum biomarkers will be discussed in the context of site issues.
