Abstract
The presence of xanthen-9-one in estuarine and marine waters is shown for t he first time. A method for the quantification of this oxy-PAM is described and results ale given for water samples from the North Sea. The concentrat ions range from 0.08 to 0.68 ng*l(-1) in the sea, while 3.7 ng*l(-1) were d etected in the water of the estuary of the river Elbe. This compound can po ssibly be used as a tracer for anthropogenic contamination attributed to th e combustion of fossil fuels, especially in automobile engines, (C) 2000 El sevier Science Ltd.
