The general aim of the project is to evaluate the feasibility of using compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) to assess biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in the unsaturated zone. The first objective was to quantify the isotope enrichment factors during biodegradation of several volatile organic compounds (VOCs) commonly found on petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated sites. These microcosm...
