| Abstract | The ratios between organic carbons and hydrocarbon constituents were compared for polluted river waters from the Tokyo area and unpolluted river, brook, reservoir and pond waters from the Ogasawara (Bonin) Islands to derive indicators of hydrocarbon pollution (fossil fuels and their products and both combustion products, and industrial products). The hydrocarbons as carbon (HCC)/total organic carbon (TOC), HCC/extractable organic carbon with ethyl acetate (EOC), squalane as carbon (SqC)/TOC, SqC/EOC, and unresolved complex mixture of hydrocarons (UCMH)/n-Alkane (C sub(15)-C sub(33)) ratios of the waters from the Tokyo area were much higher than those of the waters from the Ogasawara Islands. These results indicate that the HCC/TOC, HCC/EOC, UCMH/n-Alkane and CPI sub(H) values are the important indicators of hydrocarbon pollution. Further, it was suggested that the SqC/TOC and SqC/EOC ratios are useful indicators of urban-industrial activities on water systems. |
