“…Various kinds of pollutants have been detected in the environment. Among these, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), e.g., benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene and cumene are important environmental contaminants because of their high toxicity and widespread occurrence [1,2]. BTEC components are present in aviation fuel (gasoline) and are widely used as industrial solvents and raw materials for the production of different commodities [3].…”

“…Standard graphs for PG and TMA were prepared individually by injecting known amounts of respective compound into a sealed reagent bottle equipped with Teflon septum. Samples were extracted with n-hexane in an extraction vessel with 1:1 ratio [31] and liquid samples were transferred to GC vials and analyzed by GC-FID.…”

“…The relative error is less than ±5% for all analyzed elements. Analysis of BTEX components in groundwater samples was carried out by GC-MS (Agilent 6890 N) using the method described by Mottaleb et al (2003). The ultra pure water used throughout the period of experimentation had a resistivity of 18 MX cm at room temperature.…”

This paper presents results from a site characterization and monitoring study at Karaduvar area (Mersin, SE Turkey), where high concentrations of refined petroleum products have been detected in domestic and irrigation water wells. The saturated and unsaturated zones in the deltaic aquifer are contaminated by large quantities of gasoline and diesel range fuel hydrocarbons (GRHs and DRHs) released from diverse sources that include accidental spills, storage tank fires, pipeline breaks, deliberate discharge of waste petroleum products from slop tanks and illegal tanker truck washing facilities. At the site, due to the complex nature of the pollution sources, overlapping contaminant plumes exist and cover an area of about 0.5 km 2 . In both polluted and unpolluted parts of the aquifer, monitoring of groundwater physicochemical parameters in a total of 55 sampling points was carried out between 2006 and 2007. The results show that the terminal electron acceptors (e.g. dissolved oxygen, nitrate, Mn(IV), Fe(III), sulfate) were reduced near the source area(s) indicating presence of actively operating biodegradation processes at the site. Close to the contaminant source area(s), conditions in the plume are highly anoxic and reducing; where high amounts of transformation products (e.g. bicarbonate, dissolved iron, and manganese) are present in solution. Additionally, at the site, excessive pumping, careless land use, and deliberate wastewater discharges significantly deteriorated the quality and quantity of groundwater. Excessive groundwater pumping for industrial and agricultural uses has resulted in substantial water level declines (2-3 m) near the coastal part where seawater intrusion threatens the groundwater resources.
