“…Concentrations at all stations, excluding the January and February storms, ranged from 1.7 to about 17 mg/L, with only 10 percent of the concentrations greater than 9 mg/L. Nelson and Lysyj (1968) found that the organic content in municipal waters of the southwest and Pacific Coast regions of the United States ranged from 1.1 to 7.7 mg/L, with the Pacific Coast waters having higher concentrations due to climate and vegetation. Figure 5 shows the mean concentration of total organic carbon at the seven sampling stations in the study area.…”

“…Birge and Juday (1934) found from 1.2 to 28.5 mg/1, with a mean of 7.7 mg/l,in a study of 529 lakes. Public water supplies from veils in the southwestern United States contained 0.7 to 1.6 mg/1, whereas those from surface waters in southwestern United States and along the Pacific Coast contained 1,1-7.7 mg/1 (Nelson and Lysyj, 1968). Kaurichev, Nozdrunova, and Yevseyeva (1969) tested some soils for organic carbon during May, July, and October and found that after ultrafiltration the soil waters at the surface contained from 24 to 616 mg/1 and those at roughly 45-60 centimetres in depth contained1 from 2 to 73 mg/1.…”

“…Dry combustion-direct injection techniques using gas chromatography as the method of measurement have been devised for fresh water and low salinity water, but not for seawater. Nelson and Lysyj [109] used pyrolysis of the organic compounds without oxidation, with flame ionisation as the detection method. The technique was further developed by Eggertsen and Stross [105].…”

Ball et al. [1] have described a method for determining down to 20 µg/l boron in estuarine waters. A dc argon plasma emission spectrometer was used. Quenching of the plasma by high solute concentrations of easily ionised elements such as alkali metals, as well as high and variable electron density, may be avoided by dilution. The method was found to be more sensitive, equally precise, less subject to interference and with a wider linear analytical range than the carmine spectrophotometric method. Very few interferences were noted when this technique was tested. There is a minor interference from the differential enhancement of tungsten relative to boron in solutions containing high concentrations of alkali metals. The effect of this is to increase the background when estuary water is being analysed, and it can be mitigated by using synthetic estuary water as a blank, by dilution, or by analysis by the method of standard additions.An oscillopolarographic method gave a detection limit of 3 ×10 -9 mol/dm -3 and a linear range of 3 ×10 -9 to 7 ×10 -7 mol/dm -3 in the determination of boron in seawater.Traces of boron in seawater have been determined by flow injection analysis with spectrophotometric detection at 415 nm using G 30 methine H. The linear range was 1-10 mg/l boron with a detection limit of 0.017 mg/l [3]. Total IodineSchnepfe [4] has described a method for the determination of total iodine and iodate in seawater. One per cent aqueous sulfamic acid (1 ml) is added to seawater (10 ml), then it is filtered, if necessary, and the pH adjusted to 2. After 15 min, 1 ml 0.1 M sodium hydroxide and 0.5 ml 0.1 M potassium permanganate are added and the steam bath heated for 1 h. The cooled solution is filtered, the residue washed, the filtrate plus washings is diluted to 16 ml and 1 ml of a 0.25 M phosphate solution (containing 0.3 µg iodine as IO -3 per
