Purgeable organic compounds in ground water at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Idaho, 1990 and 1991
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6653901
Ground-water samples from 76 wells and 1 hot spring at or near the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory were analyzed for 36 purgeable organic compounds during 1990--91. The samples were collected and analyzed as a continuation of a water-quality program initiated in 1987, and as part of studies conducted by the US Geological Survey. Most of the wells obtain water from the Snake River Plain aquifer. Samples were collected from these wells using dedicated or portable pumps. Water samples from 31 wells completed in the Snake River Plain aquifer contained detectable concentrations of at least 1 of 14 purgeable organic compounds. Most commonly detected were carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and trichloroethylene. The 5.0 micrograms per liter ([mu]g/L) or less; the concentrations of most compounds were less than the reporting level of 0.2 [mu]g/L. In addition, water from three wells contained detectable concentrations of one of two tentatively identified organic compounds, trimethylbenzene and isopropylbenzene.
