Abstract
The monitoring of petroleum hydrocarbons in the water environment very often involves complicated methods. There are many difficulties encountered in analyzing large numbers of samples in the monitoring programs. In such cases, a simpler, though less precise and specific, technique using inexpensive equipment may be more desirable. This idea was realized in an assessment of the petroleum hydrocarbon pollution of the Mediterranean Sea where the oil pollutant (dissolved and/or dispersed in sea water) was measured by spectrofluorometry. This paper describes an analytical evaluation of three modifications of two simple spectrofluorometry methods, used on numerous sediment samples collected from various areas of the Adriatic Sea.
