DYNAMICS OF HYDROCARBON GASES IN SOILS: NEW APPROACH TO THE STUDIES AND THE INDICATION POTENTIAL
Abstract
Profile distribution and seasonal dynamics of hydrocarbon gases (methane, ethylene, propane, nbutane and ethane) in soil air within the Istra morphostructure node and beyond the geodynamically active territory were analyzed. It was revealed that under probable inflow of hydrocarbons from the underlying geological strata the properties of hydrocarbon gaseous profile of the soils within the node are different from those of the background area. It is concluded that emanation and biogeochemical hydrocarbon status of soils could be indicated basing on their gaseous profiles.
Keywords
hydrocarbon gases in soils,
hydrocarbon status of soils,
geodynamic activity,
seasonal dynamics of soils
