Bjorseth et al. [68] described a capillary gas chromatographic method for determining polyaromatic hydrocarbons in sediments. Up to 34 polyaromatic hydrocarbons were identified, some carcinogenic. 

Tan [71] devised a rapid simple sample preparation technique for analysing polyaromatic hydrocarbons in sediments. Polyaromatic hydrocarbons are removed from the sediment by ultrasonic extraction and isolated by solvent partition and silica gel column chromatography. The sulphur removal step is combined into the ultrasonic extraction procedure. Identification of polyaromatic hydrocarbon is carried by gas chromatography alone and in conjunction with mass spectrometry. Quantitative determination is achieved by addition of known amounts of standard compounds using flame ionization and multiple ion detectors. 

The thermal desorption gas chromatography-mass spectrometry [42] described in section 2.4.1.2 has been applied to the determination of polyaromatic hydrocarbons in sediments. 

Garrigues and Emald [76] give details of a procedure for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediment samples by high resolution Spectrofluorimetry in n-alkane matrices. 

Walker et al. [17] studied profiles of hydrocarbons in sediment according to depth in sediment cores collected at Baltimore Harbour in Chesapeake Bay, Massachusetts. Gas liquid chromatography was used to detect hydrocarbons present at different depths in the sediment, while low resolution mass spectrometry was employed to measure concentrations of paraffins, cycloparaffins, aromatics and polynuclear aromatics. Their data show that the concentrations of total and saturated hydrocarbons decreased with increased depth, and it is commented that identification and quantitation of hydrocarbons in oil-contaminated sediments is required if the fate of these compounds in dredge spoils is to be determined.

Dinorhopane (a.k.a. 28,30-bisnorhopane) and 25,28,30-trinorhopane (59) are often very prominent hydrocarbons in sediments from euxinic environments and their derived oils... 

Einally, there is now increasing recognition of a critical need for detailed characterization of the mechanisms of solid phase association of hydrocarbons in sediments or aquifer solid phase. The likelihood that the sorption/desorption behavior, bioavailability, and overall cycling of hydrocarbons depend critically on the nature of solid phase association provides a strong impetus for future work.

The combustion source hypothesis was tested to ascertain the behaviour of hydrocarbons in sediments from a remote sub-antarctic island (King Edward Cove) (49). This site was an important seal hunting ground for decades early in the nineteenth century and then hosted a whale processing factory which closed in 1965. These activities led to significant contamination of the bay with fossil fuel and organic material. Marine sediment cores collected at a depth of 18 m clearly reflect the cessation of industrial operations, while further research is necessary for a better understanding of the fate of petroleum components in cold benthic ecosystems. 

A two-year investigation was undertaken to determine the composition and concentration of hydrocarbons in sediment, water and commercially important marine organisms throughout Charlotte Harbor. The entire project was detailed in an unpublished report to the Florida Department of Natural Resources (1 0). The first-year project revealed limited petroleum conteunination associated with certain land-use activities (6 1 ). The second-year study, the primary subject of this presentation, investigated the problem areas in more detail to characterize the type of petroleum contamination and to identify probable sources.
