Description
Summary:Information on the organic compounds in water of Mochou Lake and Hearth Lake, Antarctica is given in this paper. 93 organic compounds were identified from 121 chemical constituents in lake water, including n-alkanes, lipidal isopentadienes, aromatic hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatics, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, monocarboxylic acids and phthalic esters in the range of 0.027 - 4.79 µg/L. Organic compounds of global occurrence like BHC, DDT and PCBs were detected in the water, at the concentration of 0.012 - 0.356 µg/L.
