Benzene, toluene and xylenes (BTX’s) are often found as pollutants in soil and water. The mobility of these components in soil and groundwater depends on the geohydrological situation, but also on properties as volatility, solubility, adsorption and biological degradation. These properties are interrelated, in that the other features can be predicted from the solubility (1).
