AbstractAbstract
[en] The use of Iatroscan thin-layer chromatography (TLC)/flame ionization detector (FID) system to perform quantitative gas compositional analysis of oil samples was demonstrated. Results of the field experiment at Parker's Cove, an estuarine wetland east of Houston, Texas, showed significant biodegradation, as evidenced by initially rapid decrease in the compositional saturate and aromatic fractions coinciding with an increasing resin fraction. Details of the results were described, confirming that the Iatroscan TLC/FID system can be an effective tool for monitoring and measuring environmental processes. 10 refs., 5 figs
