What Does TPH Stand For?

TPH stands for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons

Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) refer to a broad range of organic compounds derived from crude oil or petroleum products. TPH is commonly used as a measure of the concentration of these hydrocarbons in environmental samples, such as soil and water, and is critical for assessing contamination levels and evaluating the potential impacts on human health and the environment. Analysis of TPH helps in environmental monitoring, remediation efforts, and regulatory compliance related to petroleum leaks and spills.
