| Short description: |
Dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) such as creosote, coal
tar, chlorinated solvents and polychlorinated biphenyl oils represent
a particular class of soil and groundwater contaminant that exist as
a separate liquid phase in the presence of water. DNAPLs come to
rest in the subsurface as disconnected blobs and ganglia of liquid
referred to as residual DNAPL, and in potentially mobile distributions
referred to as pools.
