Soil and water samples were collected for chemical analyses from unconsolidated loess and glacial till surficial materials at 4 sites on the Des Moines Air National Guard Base. Analyses of samples used gas chromatograph-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) scans on all samples and gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) on selected samples. Interpretation was based on correlation of GC-FID scan retention time peaks between field sites and samples of known contaminated material or wastes. Results of GC-MS indicate the presence of acenapthene, phenenthrene, pyrene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, fluoranthene, butylbenzylphthalate, aliphatic hydrocarbons, naphthalenes, cyclohexanes, benzenes, and other organic substances in on or more of the samples. GC-MS analyses indicate the presence of priority pollutants in excess of detection limit concentrations at each site.
