Description

Buffy M. Ashton. Analytical chemistry & instrumentation provides environmental scientists with the ability to identify & track the fate of spilled oil residues in the marine environ. Compounds commonly used for the ident. of spilled oil to a source are called biomarkers (BM). BM compounds are universal in crude oils & petroleum products & are more resistant to environmental weathering than most other oil constituents. The distribution of BM compounds is unique for each oil & different sources of petroleum exhibit different oil fingerprints. Fingerprint indexes provide a useful tool for determining different oil residues in environ. samples. This report explains how 8 biomarkers were chosen for detection & analysis.
