“…In related work, Deeds et al (36) used column experiments to measure the Henry's coefficient for a water partitioning tracer (difluoromethane), with the assumption that the tracer measured all of the water. Water-partitioning tracer tests have also been conducted at the field scale, in association with gas-phase partitioning tracer tests designed to characterize immiscible-liquid contamination in vadose-zone systems (30)(31)(32). However, the soil-water contents obtained in these tests were not compared to independently measured values.…”
