Abstract
An attempt was made to apply n-alkane distribution parameters in the i dentification of various organic matter pollution. Comparing the resul ts of GC-analyses of n-alkanes in sewage-polluted river sediments with unpolluted sediments, it was shown that n-alkane distribution and abu ndance parameters offer a sound basis not only for the identification of oil-derived, but also for non-oil derived organic matter pollution in recent sediments.
