Abstract
Abstract It is becoming increasingly apparent that pollution of ground water by synthetic organic chemicals is potentially a very serious problem that must be addressed if the quality of our ground-water resource is to be protected. There has been only a very limited effort to assess the extent and probable impact of organic pollutants on ground water from such sources as spills, industrial waste disposal, municipal landfills, septic systems, artificial recharge, and land application of wastewater. While most reported cases of organic ground water pollution have been limited to those relatively intense pollution events, low-level insidious pollution of ground water by organic chemicals is just beginning to be recognized as an equally important aspect of the overall problem. There is a pressing need to establish control criteria for these as well as other sources of organic pollution that will not only permit reasonable utilization of the subsurface as a pollution receptor but will also adequately protect ground-water quality.
