Thiols coastal marine sediments

Mechanistic Studies of Organosulfur (Thiol) Formation in Coastal Marine Sediments... 

The formation of organic sulfur compounds in salt marsh porewaters is not as well understood(H) as the inorganic moieties although progress has been made in coastal marine sediments(12). Their presence as thiols and alkyl sulfides has been determined but generally in trace amounts(12-16). The importance of these trace organic sulfur compounds to atmospheric sulfur emissions is presently an area of intense research(, 15). Less appears to be known about organic sulfur compounds in salt marsh porewaters.
