TPH Working
Group Series, Volumes 1-5
 The overlying theme to this
series is the importance of exposure potential when defining
human health risk. The fate and transport of a chemical or
mixture defines the exposure route, and in conjunction with
receptor properties, concentrations at receptors. If fate
and transport is not considered, unrealistic human health
risks could be calculated, resulting in misinformed
decisions about site clean-up and regulatory guidance. We
hope you find these documents to be useful in your efforts
to evaluate and determine acceptable risk-based criteria at
petroleum sites.

Volume 1: Petroleum
Hydrocarbon Analysis of Soil and Water in the Environment
Wade Weisman
U.S. $19.95, Year 98,
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
U.S. $39.95, Year 98,
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.
Appendix
I - Individual Sample Fuel Mixture Composition Data Tables
Volume 3:
Selection of Representative TPH Fractions Based on Fate and
Transport Considerations
John Gustafson; Joan Griffith Tell; Doug Orem
U.S. $19.95, Year 97,
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 (RfD's) and Reference
Concentration (RfC's) for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons
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
U.S. $19.95, Year 97, 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
U.S. $19.95, Year 99,
pp.60 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
