Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (NAPLs) are materials that are generally immiscible with water meaning that they form a separate liquid phase. NAPLs are divided into two categories: Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) or Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (LNAPL). DNAPLs are usually the result of chlorinated solvents (Trichloroethylene and Perchloroethylene), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), creosote and coal tar. LNAPLs result from petroleum hydrocarbon liquids, such as gasoline (petrol), diesel, jet fuel, crude, etc.
