Organic compounds in rainfall at Horndsund, SW Spitsbergen : qualitative results
Research on the chemistry of atmospheric precipitation in the Hornsund region of Svalbard has been extended by analysis of the organic contents. In rainfall samples col− lected in September 2003, the organics were separated by solid phase extraction (SPE), eluted and analysed on gas chromatograph co...

Research on the chemistry of atmospheric precipitation in the Hornsund region of Svalbard has been extended by analysis of the organic contents. In rainfall samples col− lected in September 2003, the organics were separated by solid phase extraction (SPE), eluted and analysed on gas chromatograph coupled to a mass selective detector (GC/MS). Rainfall pH was in the range 4.72–5.45, the low values suggesting possible pollution. Con− centrations of inorganic ions, expressed as total dissolved salts (TDS), were 5.40–13.18 mg L–1. Non−sea−salt (nss) sulphates were in the range 5–11 μeq L–1. In all samples, long−chain alkanes with chain length up to C36, and their methyl derivatives were detected. Among aromatic compounds biphenyl, dibenzofuran and its methyl derivatives were found. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were represented by naphthalene, phenanthrene, fluorene, acenaphthene, fluoranthene and pyrene. There were no PAHs with higher num− bers of rings. The synoptic meteorological conditions in September 2003 indicate that all organic and inorganic pollutants were of local origin. |
