Phenols derived from lignin degradation were used as markers to determine the origin of waters of the Seine estuary in France. Thus, fluvial run-off contains syringic, hydroxyben-zoic and vanillic phenols, whereas upstream penetrating marine waters contain cinnamic phenols derived from the estuarine herbs. In the maximum turbidity zone the vanillic acid (38) to vanillin (39) ratio increases due to aerobic degradation of lignin . ... 

Waters from wetlands and lakes may have relatively high concentrations of NOM. A study of surface water quality of wetland has been carried out on one of the Seine estuary, the Hode Marsh. This littoral wetland is located on the northern part of the Seine floodplain in France.

De Voogt et al. [23] analysed marine and estuarine sediments from 22 sites in northwestern Europe (extending from Ireland and France to Norway and Sweden) by HPLC-FL. NP, OP, AgPEO and AgPEO concentration ranges of 0.1-17, highest levels were found in the estuaries of the rivers Seine, Mersey, Rhine/Meuse, Weser and Elbe.
