AbstractAbstract
[en] The abundance ratio of 13C to 12C was proposed as a measure of the effectiveness of remediation of hydrocarbon contamination, based on the mass differences between the two isotopes and the known preference of biological processes for the lighter isotope. In addition to monitoring changes in total hydrocarbon it should also be possible to track individual components using this technique. Tracking individual hydrocarbons could confirm degradation of individual components of C5+ mixtures in the field. 13 refs., 2 figs. i
