Title
Ambient-Volatile Organic Hydrocarbons of New Jersey [New Jersey]
Description
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) are generally manmade organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure and readily vaporize at temperatures and pressures normally found at the earth's surface. The term is generally applied to organic solvents, certain paint additives, aerosol spray can propellants, fuels (such as gasoline, and kerosene), petroleum distillates, dry cleaning products and many other industrial and consumer products ranging from office supplies to building materials. VOC's are also naturally emitted by a number of plants and trees. VOC's can be isolated from the water phase of a sample by purging the sample with inert gas, such as helium, subsequent to analyzing the sample by gas chromatography. Samples are analyzed for volatile organic compounds using USGS NWQL schedules 2020/2021. This update (2013) includes the data from the completed second sampling cycle of all 150 wells which comprise the redesigned NJAGWQMN.
