Summary

Analytical techniques for the analyses of petroleum hydrocarbons in the aquatic environment are overviewed. Due to the complex composition of petroleum and the rapid changes. petroleum undergoes after release to the aquatic environment, analyses have to be concentrated on selected compound types, likely to those which are of environmental concern. Methods are described for determinations of total hydrocarbon contents, volatile hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon classes and selected single components. Further, analytical techniques for the identification of oil spills are included.
