Abstract:In order to assess the potential of soil contamination from petroleum-based products and determine the soil samples required for laboratory analysis, investigators generally use portable instruments such as photo ionisation detectors (PIDs) or flame ionisation detectors (FIDs) for on-site screening. In this study, PIDs, FIDs, and turbidimetric test kits were integratively used to screen 47 soil samples from 28 fuelling station sites suspected of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) contamination. The PIDs and FID… Show more
