Application of Laser Induced Fluorescence Implemented Through a Cone Penetrometer to Map the Distribution of an Oil Spill in the Subsurface.
Abstract
Field monitoring at spill sites usually involves collection and analysis of ground water, soil gas, and/or core material. Applications for soil gas are limited to volatile contaminants in the vadose zone. Ground water assays are useful, but detect only contaminants associated with the aqueous phase. Total contamination of the subsurface, especially for petroleum hydrocarbons, is best measured by vertical profile core sampling and analyses.
