Volume 1:
Analysis of Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Environmental Media
Wade Weisman
1998, pp.98 ISBN 1-884-940-14-5
This document provides an overview of the complexities of
petroleum hydrocarbon characterization and risk assessment,
and a discussion on the analytical methods available. In
addition, to descriptions about general analytical methods,
a summary is provided of a proposed GC-Based analytical
method, developed by the Working group, that reports
hydrocarbon results in equivalent carbon number groups or
fractions.

Volume 2:
Composition of Petroleum Mixtures
Thomas L. Potter; Kathleen E. Simmons
1998, pp.102 ISBN 1-884-940-19-6
This document describes the
chemical composition and characteristics of petroleum fuel
mixtures. It presents the salient features of petroleum
chemistry, describes petroleum fuel mixture production, and
displays composition data tables that are summaries from
many sources for each of the petroleum fuel mixtures.

Volume 3: Selection of
Representative TPH Fractions Based on Fate and Transport
Considerations
John Gustafson; Joan Griffith Tell; Doug Orem
1997, pp.102 ISBN 1-884-940-12-9
This document summarizes the
methods used to delineate TPH into equivalent carbon number
fractions based on fate and transport considerations. Once
the fractions were defined, fraction-specific values of
relevant physical-chemical properties were calculated based
on correlations to boiling point. The analytical method,
fate and transport considerations and toxicity criteria (see
vol. 4) are the technical elements which fit into a
risk-based framework for determining human Heath Based
Criteria at petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated sites.

Volume 4: Development of
Fraction Specific Reference Doses (RfDs) and Reference
Concentration (RfCs) for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons
(TPH)
D.A.Edwards; M.D.Andriot, M.A.Amoruso; A.C.Tummey;
C.J.Bevan; A.Tveit; L.A.Hayes; S.H.Youngren; D.V.Nakles
1997, pp.137 ISBN 1-884-940-13-7
To complete the risk-based
approach, the Working Group has also selected toxicity
criteria (e.g., Reference Doses) for each of the defined
fate and transport fractions. The evaluation of the
toxicology research database and rationale behind the
toxicity criteria selected is described in detail in Volume
4. The group selected the American Society for testing And
Materials (ASTM) Risk Based Corrective Action - RBCA
framework as an example of how these elements can be used to
calculate risk-based screening levels driven by non-cancer
human health risk for petroleum contaminated sites.

Volume 5: Human Health
Risk-Based Evaluation of Petroleum Contaminated Sites:
Implementation of the Working Group Approach
Donna Vorhees, John Gustafson and Wade Weisman
1999, pp.98 ISBN 1-884-940-12-9
Volume 5 is a guidance
document to the TPH Working Group's Approach. It integrates
the findings of Vols. 1-4 into a risk-based framework for
development of cleanup goals at petroleum contaminated
sites. In addition, the document includes descriptions of
demonstration sites where the working group method has been
used successfully.
