The paper presents the results of field and laboratory studies aimed at studying the processes of oil transformation in the soil under the influence of natural biological processes during a two-year period on artificially created old spills. The soil of the study area was characterized as meadow. The high toxic effect of oil was confirmed, which was expressed in the complete extinction of soil flora and fauna. Despite the low oil content in the soil (less than 5%), soil self-purification processes were not observed. Moreover, the high sorption properties of the soil, the violation of the water regime and the lack of aeration led to the “conservation” of oil and significantly slowed down the natural processes of its biodegradation. This was confirmed by a slight change in the content of oil products a year after the start of the experiment, as well as the presence of free oil in the pore space of the studied soil.

Public crude oil fields in Wonocolo sub-district were active from 1942 until now and have inadequately operated. The aims of this research were to measure the level of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) pollution and their distribution in soil and surface water at the Wonocolo public crude oil fields. Twelve composite soil samples were collected from uncontaminated and contaminated sites of old well (OW), transportation line (T), and refinery area (R) at the depths of 0–30 cm, 30–60 cm, and 60–90 cm. The composite surface water sample was obtained from two points with different distances from the river side. TPH from soil and surface water samples were extracted using soxhlet and gravimetric method. Quantification of TPH was performed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectrometer. From the results of this study, it was concluded that soils and surface water are contaminated by TPH of 119.80–107,190 µg/g and 211,025.73 µg/L, respectively. TPH is clearly located in the upper of 0–30 cm depth at OW, T, and R sites (52,328.14–107,189.63 µg/g). These concentrations exceeded the soil quality standard of TPH and classified as category A for human hazard risk. The findings from this study show that there are considerable health risks which are potentially poisonous to humans in the local area. We recommend that remediation could be conducted using biological methods to reduce TPH pollution level.

The paper presents studies results of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) contaminations migration in sandy formations on the post-industrial area in Katowice in aspect their horizontal migration between aeration and saturation zones. In all investigated soil samples were determined mineral oils (>C12), gasoline (C6-C12) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) content and were also defined coefficient of filtration. Both mineral oils and gasoline belongs to organic liquids group lighter than water. Researches were supplemented with simulation of ground and underground water contamination state, round investigated area and also migration of petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) contaminations model in examined grounds. The correlation between seasonal position of underground water level and total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) contaminations content in ground vertical profile was also showed. Besides variations of filtration rate in relation to petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH), light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPL) contaminations content was presented, as well.
