Application of biomarker compounds as tracers for sources and fates of natural and anthropogenic organic matter in the environment

Creator:

Oros, Daniel R.

Abstract:

Determination of the source and fate of natural (higher plant lipids, marine lipids, etc.) and anthropogenically (e.g., petroleum, coal emissions) derived hydrocarbons and oxygenated compounds in the environment was accomplished using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to characterize or identify molecular biomarkers to be utilized as tracers....
