| Abstract | PESTAB. A characterization of the organics found at the air-water interface of Lake Pontchartrain is described. Three separate samples were collected, one each month, during the spring of 1976 from the surface of Lake Pontchartrain. An aluminum backed teflon disc was employed for sample collection. The residues collected were fractionated by using a silica gel column. The alkanes were eluted with 59 ml of n-hexane, and then the more polar compounds were eluted with 50 ml of benzene. Each of these fractions were furher analyzed by employing glass capillary gas chromatography. Samples were then introduced to a mass spectrometer by injection from the gas chromatograph. The mass spectrometer allowed identification of the individual components in each fraction. Branched alkanes, alkyl benzenes, and polychlorinated biphenyls were found to be the predominant classes of compounds in the n-hexane eluate. Fatty acids, alcohols, phenolic compounds and phthalic acid esters were also found to be present in the air-water interface. |
