DATA INTERPRETATION<br />

Railway Station 14. 6. 2000<br />

Fig. 28<br />

74<br />

CASE STUDY 3 (Fig. 28)<br />

PID measurements made at the<br />

railway station shows the largest<br />

hydrocarbon contamination from 40 to<br />

95 m along all profiles. Several small<br />

contaminated domains in the<br />

surveyed area, are confirmed by the<br />

IR TP analyzer (see the third graph)<br />

Methane channel shows relatively<br />

high concentrations of methane,<br />

which is characteristic of old<br />

contamination where bacterial activity<br />

has already started.<br />

At the position of the main<br />

contamination, the TP channel shows<br />

higher values than the methane<br />

channel. This indicates the presence<br />

of hydrocarbon contamination. There<br />

is also an indication on the TP<br />

channel at 100 –110 m on the profiles<br />

95 and 100, of fresh hydrocarbon<br />

contamination. No methane is<br />

present.<br />

Bacterial activity is expressed by high<br />

concentrations of CO2 at the position<br />

of the main contaminated area<br />

(compare also with the PID channel).
