Abstract

Soil gas profiles of CCl ₄ were studied to correlate degradation rates to those profiles and to calculate the CCl ₄ flux into soils. Removal of atmospheric CCl ₄ by soil could be greater at high pH values. Soils were significant sinks for atmospheric CCl ₄. A more detailed understanding of soil characteristics and dynamics of microbial populations was needed to determine the nature and mechanisms of CCl ₄ degradation in different soil environments.
