Abstract Accidental fuel spills associated with the storage, transfer, and use of diesel fuel for power generation have occurred on sub‐Antarctic Macquarie Island since the establishment of the island's research station in 1948. An extensive in situ remediation program was implemented by the Australian government from 2009 to 2016 that used nutrient ...

Climatic Effects on Vapor Flow and Behavior in the Vadose Zone
Climatic factors primarily influence soil vapor in the topmost meter of the vadose zone. Abstract The concentrations and transport of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other vapors in the vadose zone may exhibit some degree of temporal variability due to the effect of various climatic factors, including (1) Air temperature; (2) Barometric pressure;

Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) in the Soil of West Qurna-2 Oil Field Southern Iraq
This study focused on the determinate the concentrations of Total hydrocarbon by using spectroflurometer, for soil in ten stations at West Qurna-2 oil field. The regional distribution of TPHs at the present study showed a highest concentration of TPHs during spring at station 10 (41.86 μg/g dry weigh) while a lowest concentration observed during spring
