Biodegradation can lead to transformation of organic contaminants in groundwater to non toxic products under natural conditions (natural attenuation) or as part of a engineered remediation strategy. However, it is often difficult to assess biodegradation at field sites because contaminant concentration vary also due to dilution and sorption or as function of varying water levels and groundwater flow directions. Analysis of stable isotope ratios is a possible way to trace biodegradation. See Poster
