Abstract

The monitoring of petroleum hydrocarbons in the water environment is very often performed using complicated methods. There are many difficulties encountered in analyzing a long number of samples in the monitoring programme. In such cases, a simpler though less precise and specific technique using inexpensive equipment to monitor a large number of water samples, might be more desirable. This idea was realized in the assessment of the state of pollution of the Mediterranean Sea by petroleum hydrocarbons where the pollution of sea water with oil (dissolved and/or dispersed in sea water) was measured by spectrofluorometry. The paper describes an analytical evaluation of three modifications of simple the spectrofluorometry method, applied on numerous river and waste water samples collected from various areas of Croatia.
