Issues• Contamination of soil, water, sediment
and biological samples with petroleum hydrocarbon. Desire to determine source
• Co-mingled plumes leaking to environment, several source. Who is and is not responsible
• Accidental releases from unknown sources. Who is responsible
• Property transactions and issues of liability concerning contamination.
• Properties may exchange hands many times and may be exposed to different activities and petroleum products
• Land lease issues and contamination from past tennants
• Deepest pocket usually deemed responsible

Gasoline• 965 compounds identified in gasoline -
CAN/CGSB-3.0 No. 14.3• Hydrocarbon constituents generally
span a range from C3 - C12
• Constituents conventionally described in terms of major chemical classes, namely: PIANO
• PIANO: paraffins, isoparaffins, aromatics, naphthenes, and olefins

Historical Forensic Methods
• Gas chromatographic analyses of samples and petroleum products (TPH)
• Method 8015 total extractables• CAN/CGSB - 3.0 No. 14.3• BTEX and total purgeables• Pb, V, Ni• EDCl and EDBr• MtBE• 2-component ratios• Rb = (B+T)/(E+X)• CCME method for TPH• Oxygenated blending agents (alcohols
and ethers) by GC/FID• Dye additives• Diphenyl disulphides• Isotopic ratios 13C/12C, D/H, 34S/32S does
not change to same extent as the molecular composition during the physical and biological process

Weathering• Light molecules evaporate• Some molecules removed by
dissolution into groundwater• Biodegradation: depends on 1)
presence of microbiota with the metabolic capacity to degrade components; 2) the recalcitrance of the compounds in the oil mixture; and 3)growth and activity factors that incluence the microbial population dynamics

Fingerprinting weathered gasoline
• Aromatic compounds strongly concentrated in the groundwater and soil and to a lesser extent in the free product, relative to thenaphthenes, paraffins and isoparraffins.
• Isotopic ratios • PIANO fingerprinting and diagnostic pairing of compounds with
similar water solubility. Plotting of ratios (Sauer and Costa, Environmental Forensics, 4: 319-329, 2003
• Alkylbenzenes and alkylnapthalenes resistent to biodegradation• C0 - C3 - naphthalenes via GC/MS followed by PCA (Sandercok and
Pasquier, Forensic Science Intl 140: 43-59, 2004• Octane index = Iso + T/nC7 + nC8 (Schmidt et al, Enviromental
Forensics, 4: 75-80, 2003• Two-dimensional GC (Frysinger et al, J. Forensic Sci. 47: 471-482,

Conclusions• PONA GC/MS analysis followed by selection of select
hydrocarbons (saturates, alkylated benzenes, and naphthalenes), followed by specific ratio plots using Excel radar, resulted in unique plots for gasoline obtained from the five Western refineries.
• Using this technique, free product could be referenced to a refinery source. Distinctive plots are observed for each refinery
• Weathered gasoline, i.e. water soluble fraction gave rise to distinctive radar plots showing that environmental samples couldbe delineated as similar or different, e.g. pieziometer - gasoline contaminated groundwater samples
• Weathered gasoline - although some differences in radar plots were observed relative to fresh gasoline, the profiles were generally similar to allow for product source identification.

Future Directions
• Soil percolation studies followed by analysis of the soil and leachate
• Plots using differing compounds and generating differing ratios to see if we can make weathered and unweatheredsamples look more similar
• Collection of more gasoline samples to determine if differing refinery dates impact the plots
