Summary

Soil reaction processes of organic contaminants presenting a threat to soil and groundwater are reviewed. Attention is given to mobility of organic liquids, volatilization, sorption, partition to dissolved organic carbon (DOC), cosolvency effects, transformation and formation of intermediates in soil. Quantification and modelling of these processes are discussed.

The influence of soil properties e.g. redox potential, pH, and organic carbon content are being emphasized. Examples of intermediate formation are presented. Conclusions are drawn about the potential threat of compound groups for top soil and groundwater, in either diffuse or local soil immision. One conclusion is that in local immissions little protection is to be expected from the top soil with respect to degradation, sorptive binding and removal by volatilization.
