| Abstract |
Environmental samples of oil and oil products can be correlated with possible sources by comparison of their stable compositional features. Procedures for correlating samples with suspected sources by gas chromatographic analysis under standardized conditions are presented in manual form. A high rate of success for the method in realistic situations is estimated by analyses of artificially aged oils and of potential spill sources found in Greater New York Harbor and Portland, Maine. The method is suitable for routine use for weeks-old oil samples, and for monitoring levels of hydrocarbons in organisms and sediments. Slightly modified, it can be used in low-level and research work studying the fate and effects of petroleum hydrocarbons. (Author) |
