Total petroleum hydrocarbons : environmental fate, toxicity, and remediation

Total petroleum hydrocarbons : environmental fate, toxicity, and remediation / Saranya Kuppusamy, Naga Raju Maddela, Mallavarapu Megharaj, Kadiyala Venkateswarlu.

The term "total petroleum hydrocarbons" (TPHs) is used for any mixture of several hundred hydrocarbons found in crude oil, and they represent the sum of volatile petroleum hydrocarbons and extractable petroleum hydrocarbons. The petrol-range organics include hydrocarbons from C6 to C10, wh...
