摘要
Detailed gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric analyses have been applied to sediment samples of the Havel and Spree River, tributaries to the Elbe River, in order to identify specific molecular markers of anthropogenic activities. Despite a wide variety of lipophilic organic compounds from diffuse anthropogenic contamination, a local emission of an industrial point source was reflected by specific markers including halogenated compounds and nitrogen containing substances (4-ethyinitrobenzene, formyl piperidine, acetyl piperidine). In addition to well-known anthropogenic markers various new molecular tracers were detected and are discussed, namely plasticizers (alkylsulfonic acid aryl esters, tributyl and tricresyl phosphates), synthetic fragrances (galaxolide, tonalide, 4-oxoisophorone), additives of personal care products (4-methoxycinnamic acid 2-ethylhexyl ester, benzyl benzoate, dibenzyl ether, benzophenone), occurring due to sewage treatment plant input.
