Samples taken for analyzing the quality of groundwater can be altered by certain materials used in the construction of monitoring wells and even by the containers used to collect samples. Similar problems can occur with samples taken from a distribution system. Further research is needed to refine analytical procedures so that actual in situ data pertaining to organic compounds in groundwater can be obtained.
