Abstract
In this work we consider the resistivity sounding method based on tomograpic technoloqy applied for mapping contamination of geological environment with aviation fuel in two airports in Mexico. Vertical electrical sounding allows to map polluted zone in plan and with depth and to estimate qualitatively the contamination grade. The resistivity survey was supplemented by drilling and chemical analysis of oil concentration. The data of direct and indirect measurements have good correspondence with each other.
