Forschungsstelle fur cheniische Toxikologie, LeipzigWasserlosliche Huininstoffe in IViissern einiger Kiestagebaue der DDR S7cnimary: Aft'er an explanation of the complex composition of the system of humic substances, sollie gravel deposit's are described from whose open-pit boundaries there were taken water samples, their content of components of hnmic matter having been determined. Since spectroscopic ana1pis techniques yield spectra which are difficult to analyse and have a relatively low detection sensitivity, an indirect, polarographic method was applied by which water-soluble humic Rubstances can be determined very selectively down t.o a lower liinit of 5 pgil. Thus, enrichment in water or in adsorbing colunins is not required. From the results found there are derived several statements concerning t,he occurrence of huniic substances and fulvic acids in waters and conclusions about the possible influence on t'he hardening of concrete are giren.
