Oil Spill Identification System.

Abstract

A report entitled Oil Spill Identification System was issued in October 1974 detailing all aspects of spill identification as conducted by the R and DC Chemistry Branch. Six of first generation methods have been revised to incorporate the latest techniques developed by the R and DC. These include sampling, sample handling and transmittal, gas chromatography, fluorescence and infrared spectrophotometry, and thin-layer chromatography. These methods are detailed as they will be used by the Coast Guard operational laboratory. In addition, back-up techniques of low temperature luminescence and high pressure liquid chromatography are included. An infrared field manual and an infrared field classification manual are included, along with a technique for simulated weathering of oils and section on safety precautions. (Author)
