Degradation of volatile chlorinated aliphatic priority pollutants in groundwater
Abstract The known degradation products and degradative pathways involving selected volatile aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbons in soil-groundwater systems are summarized. Current data indicate that the most commonly found products of microbial degradation of these compounds come from reductive dehalogenation, while nonmicrobial degradations tend to involve hydrolysis and/or oxidation. However, conclusions must be regarded as tentative, since most of the available studies have involved model systems and extrapolations, rather than direct studies of compounds in groundwater systems. Other potentially complicating factors, such as mobility and volatilization, are mentioned. Current knowledge is discussed in the context of data that would be desirable to obtain in future studies.
