Hydrophobic semivolatile organic compounds are unlikely to be transported substantial distances in ground water because of rapid partitioning onto aquifer material. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) has been identified as a potential medium for transporting hydrophobic semivolatile organic compounds by cosolvation. In this study, the role of oil-derived DOC, formed in situ, is assessed to determine its effect on the transport of aliphatic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAM) in ground water. The site of this study is a petroleum-contaminated aquifer near Bemidji, Minn.
