Abstract

The goal of this toxicity investigation was to determine the toxicity of petroleum fuels and fuel components which are likely to contaminate the subsurface environment. Various fuels and individual components, water soluble fractions of fuels, and soil leachates were tested for toxicity using the Microtox{reg sign}. The fuels used included diesel, unleaded gas, and the aviation fuels JP4 and JP5. Individual components were chosen from the following chemical groups: alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, alkylbenzenes, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons.
