Experiments were conducted to investigate the fate of ethylbenzoate and soil microorganisms in shallow aquifers. Biodegradation and volatilization have been identified to be the major mechanisms in attenuating ethylbenzoate in contaminated soils. The parameters of an available model have been obtained by fitting it to the experimental data. Various facets of biodegradation, including the effects of mass transfer resistance and initial distribution of microorganisms, have been numerically analyzed on the basis of the model.
