Abstract

A sensitive method for the determination of organic bound chlorine in river water has been used in a monitoring program. The amount of organic bound chlorine, extracted by cyclohexane and determined by neutron activation analysis, was chosen as a parameter for detection and tracing of pollutants with annoying or harmful properties. During one year, 216 samples, each collected continuously during 48 h, were taken at seven stations, located at 7–23 km distance along the Göta River, Sweden. The detection limit of the method was below 0.05 μg Cll −. Major sources of pollution were localized to certain sections of the river.
