Abstract
ABSTRACT The performance of three field kits was compared using prepared diesel fuel-in-sand samples and environmental field samples. The field kits were the EnviroGard Petroleum Fuels in Soil Test kit (EnviroGard, Millipore Canada, Mississauga, Ontario), PetroFlag Hydrocarbon Test Kit for Soil (Dexsil, Hamden, Connecticut), and a modified version of the method for oil and grease and petroleum hydrocarbons solvent extraction with infrared (IR) analysis (Buck Scientific, East Norwalk, Connecticut). The EnviroGard kit was affected by the sample matrix and was not capable of detecting the petroleum concentration. The Petroflag kit tended to generate results higher than the accepted concentration. The IR method was the most sensitive and produced values similar to the accepted concentration data.
