Type of Measurement: Background [ ]; At contaminated site [ X ]; Other [ ]
Media: Ground water
Results: Concentration for gas-chromatographic peaks likely identified as 4-tertbutylphenol
via relative flame ionization detector (FID) response: 0.035 -
0.118 ug/l; ground water samples were taken from February to March 1980
beneath a rapid infiltration site for wastewater (secondary effluent) in
Phoenix, Alizona, USA.
Remarks: XAD-2 analysis
Reference: IUCLID Database (Huels AG Marl)

receiving river water: 3 ug/l (detected only one sample); concentration in
related sediment: 0.2 -7 ug/g; samples were taken in 1975 and 1976; Brackish
River, USA.
