Fate and transport of Detroit River derived pollutants throughout Lake Erie

摘要: The fate and transport of Detroit River derived sediment-bound pollutants in Lake Erie were investigated by the electron impact gas chromatographic mass spectrometric analysis 2,4-di-tert-pentylphenol (24DP), an unusual pollutant originating from a single point source on Trenton Channel River. 24DP depositional histories determined 25 dated sediment cores taken throughout Erie; occurred sediments lake mid-1930s until collected late 1980s, with maximum deposition occurring 1968±2 years all three basins
