| Summary: | In this article, the authors report on the analysis of a groundwater sample from an area that has been impacted by cyanide-containing residuals. Several common analytical procedures were used to illustrate and compare the concentrations of cyanide that the various methodologies were able to detect. Replicates of each analysis were run for comparison. In addition, filtered and unfiltered sample aliquots were analyzed to evaluate whether significant differences could be observed with any of the analytical methods that could be attributed to relative solubility differences among the cyanide species present. Special emphasis is placed on the usefulness of the data for manufactured gas plants (MGP) site project applications. The current work opens the gate for future studies into environmental forensic applications of cyanide source identification based on the comparison of the differing analytical methodologies. |
