| Abstract |
Significance of flotage derived from submerged primary effluent plumes in the Southern California Bight is evaluated in terms of three components: Particulates > or = 0.5 mm in size, particulates < or = 0.1 mm in size, and surface film materials. The sampling methods utilized to collect the flotage from the surface are described in detail. The surface film and micro-particulates were captured by fabric screen samplers developed during the course of the study. It was found that the large particulates penetrated the ocean thermocline and gathered on the surface in profusion. The grease and wax portions of the particulates could be measured reliably with hexane extraction, with the mass of HEM of sewage origin being in the order of a metric ton on the water surface within the study area. Such particulates contained considerable numbers of coliform bacteria but little PCB compounds or pesticides. |
