Field data (including geology, hydrogeology, soil chemistry, groundwater chemistry, and aquifer characteristics) were analyzed at eight MGP sites located in the New Jersey Coastal Plain. These data were used to calculate biodegradation rate constants, which were then compared with laboratory microcosm data and published values. Isopleths were drawn from the field data to indicate the dominant biodegradation mechanisms at each of the sites, and stoichiometric calculations were used to determine the total capacity of the electron acceptors present to degrade the plume contaminants. In examining these data, the protocol described by the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) was …

The title compound, C26H30O4, is one of the first alkyl bis-peroxides to be structurally characterized. The mol­ecule lies on a centre of inversion and therefore the terminal phenyl rings are parallel. Although there are three aromatic rings in the mol­ecule, the C—O—O—C torsion angle of 163.10 (10)° is close to the value found in Me3COOCMe3.
