Concentrations and Stable Isotope Values of BTEX in Gasoline-Contaminated Groundwater

This work was undertaken to investigate the usefulness of stable carbon isotopic analysis as a monitoring tool for contaminant remediation. Concentrations and δ13C values of BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes) were measured at a gasoline-contaminated site in southern California. The B...

The BTEX data were determined using a purge-and-trap connected to a gas chromatograph/ion trap mass spectrometer and to an isotope ratio mass spectrometer system. Concentrations ranged from below detection (&lt;0.5 ppb ≈ 0.05 μM C) to about 120 ppm (≈10 000 μM C) total BTEX, with toluene generally having the highest concentrations. For BTEX compounds at monitoring wells averaged across all sampling dates, δ13C values ranged from −23.8 to −26.6‰ (benzene), −22.9 to −25.2‰ (toluene), from −23.0 to −25.3‰ (p&amp;m-xylenes), and from −22.4 to −25.0‰ (o-xylene). The data strongly suggest two sources of contamination:  one with lighter (12C-enriched) δ13C values emanating from the area near monitoring wells 1 and 2, and the other containing higher MTBE concentrations, an additive of unleaded gasoline, with heavier (13C-enriched) δ13C values coming from the vicinity of monitoring wells 8 and 9. The isotope data suggest that the leaded and unleaded gasoline at this site are isotopically distinct.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0013-936X</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1520-5851</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1021/es960635r</identifier><identifier>CODEN: ESTHAG</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Washington, DC: American Chemical Society</publisher><subject>aguas subterraneas ; Analysis ; Applied sciences ; benceno ; Benzene ; Carbon ; eau souterraine ; Environmental cleanup ; Exact sciences and technology ; Gas chromatography ; Gasoline ; groundwater ; Groundwaters ; Isotopes ; Mass spectrometry ; Natural water pollution ; Pollution ; pollution de l' eau ; polucion del agua ; Q1 ; Toluene ; tolueno ; Water pollution ; Water treatment and pollution ; xileno ; Xylene</subject><ispartof>Environmental science &amp; technology, 1997-09, Vol.31 (9), p.2469-2472</ispartof><rights>Copyright © 1997 American Chemical Society</rights><rights>1997 INIST-CNRS</rights><rights>Copyright American Chemical Society Sep 1997</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-a467t-90cb3688cb358ddda847725ff31154c531e042dc3ea6a3c1df886fae82c0fda83</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-a467t-90cb3688cb358ddda847725ff31154c531e042dc3ea6a3c1df886fae82c0fda83</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/es960635r$$EPDF$$P50$$Gacs$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/es960635r$$EHTML$$P50$$Gacs$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,2763,27075,27923,27924,56737,56787</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttp://pascal-francis.inist.fr/vibad/index.php?action=getRecordDetail&amp;idt=2816429$$DView record in Pascal Francis$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Kelley, Cheryl A</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Hammer, Beth Trust</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Coffin, Richard B</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Hannover Univ.
