| | see below | Explanation:
Some names are ambivalent, but here goes:
CHC - cyclohexanecarboxylic acid = Cyclohexancarboxylsaeure or chlorinated hydrocarbons = Chlorierte Kohlenwasserstoffe (CK);
TPH - triphenylhexane = Triphenylhexan;
BTEX (usually BTX) - benzene-toluene-xylene = Benzol-Toluen-Xylen-Aromate;
PAH - polycyclic/polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons = polyzyklische/polynukleare aromatische Kohlenwasserstoffe (PAK);
BOX - biological oxidation = biologische Oxidation (used in bioremediation);
PCB - polychlorinated biphenyls = polychlorierte Biphenyle;
TCB - tri/tetrachlorobenzene = Tri/Tetratchlorbenzol or trichlorinated biphenyls = Trichlorierte Biphenyle;
TCA - trichlorinated aliphatics = trichlorierte Aliphate or trichloracetic acid = Trichlorethansaeure;
A good place to check are sites that have a searchable MSDS database, see http://www.operationsafesite.org/newpage11.htm
