Although the free amino acids are present only at very low concentrations in oceanic waters, their importance in most biological systems has led to an inordinate amount of effort toward their determination in seawater. A sensitive, simple, and easily automated method of analysis, the colorimetric nin-hydrin reaction, has been known in biochemical research for many years. In order for the method to be useful in seawater, the amino acids had to be concentrated. This concentration was usually achieved by some form of ion exchange [251]. An automated method not using a concentration step was developed by Coughenower and Curl [252]. While the method was used successfully in Lake Washington, its limit of detection (0.5 imol/l) is just too great for most oceanic samples.

Increases in Pb concentrations of 30 times have been measured in Lake Washington caused mainly through the burning of leaded fuel in internal combusion engines. Significant increases in the concentrations of Zn (6 times), Pb (13 times), and Cu (8 times) have been introduced by man s activity near Sinclair Inlet, probably as a result of shipyard s activities.

Information pertaining to the occurrence of cresols in surface waters was limited. STORET (1989) and the CLAPS (1988) contained no records for o-cresol in ambient surface water. o-Cresol was detected in freshwater samples from Spirit Lake, Washington, on August 7, 1980 and from South Fork Castle Lake and Smith Creek, Washington, on September 11, 1980 at unreported concentrations (McKnight et al. 1982). The presence of cresols was attributed to the Mount St. Helens eruption on May 18, 1980 (McKnight et al. 1982). Whether or not the cresols originated from wood fires or the actual eruption was not clarified.

Case Studies. The discussion of individual studies in this paper are intended as brief summaries of important results from a variety of ancient and modern lake sediments discussed in other papers (13-16). These studies include two Paleogene lacustrine oil shales—the Green River Formation (Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming) and the Rundle Formation (Queensland, Australia). The locations of these formations are shown in Figure 3, and key characteristics of the deposits are compared in Table I. Also included are results from studies of three modern productive saline lakes (Soap Lake, Washington Great Salt Lake, Utah and Walker Lake, Nevada) and two...
