ABSTRACT
Within the scope of the DFG priority program 546, the behaviour of typical gasworks contaminants in groundwater is studied on the Testfeld Sued in order to predict longtherm effects due to natural attenuation processes. Besides a number of organic contaminants cyanide compounds occur in groundwater related to former gasworks activities at this site. In the project presented here detailed studies on the occurrence, species distribution and transport behaviour of cyanides are carried out using 60 observation wells.
