Kalvoda has reviewed different electrochemical methods suppression of polarographic maxima, eletrocapillary measurements, Kalousek commutator technique, differential pulse polarography and tensammetric methods for the determination of oily substances in various types of waters. These compounds are neither reducible nor oxidizable but are surface active. The study of oil fractions has shown that the Kalousek technique responds only to higher levels of dissolved petroleum fractions (0.02 to 100 mg/1) found only in pollution sources such as harbors and refinery effluents.Recent results indicate that the water pollution with petroleum can be determined by differential pulse tensammetry. Good calibration graphs were obtained with Diesel oil at a concentration from 30-50 /xg to 0.5 mg/1 and with Saratov petroleum from 0.1-0.2 to 3.3 mg/1. ...
