The USGS's Report on Volatile Organic Compounds in the Nation’s Ground Water and Drinking-Water Supply Wells Found:
Some VOCs were detected more frequently than others. Although 42 VOCs were detected in aquifer samples, only 15 occurred in about 1 percent or more of the samples. The most frequently detected VOCs include 7 solvents, 4 THMs, 2 refrigerants, 1 gasoline oxygenate, and 1 gasoline hydrocarbon. The THM chloroform was the most frequently detected compound, and its source is attributed, in part, to the recycling of chlorinated waters to aquifers. The solvent perchloro-ethene (PCE) and the gasoline oxygenate MTBE were the second and third most frequently detected compounds, respectively.
Overall, the 15 most frequently detected compounds comprise a large fraction of the low-level VOC contamination and provide a logical focus for future monitoring of aquifers and for follow-up studies to better understand their sources and pathways to aquifers.
