Abstract
The dissolved organic components of marine waters were studied
using an inverse flow glass filter system to separate the particulate
and dissolved constituents. Cell rupture was prevented by the use of
a gentle positive hydraulic head. Concentrations of humic acids were
obtained by a nylon adsorption column which also desalted the sample.
The process provided concentrations up to 10,000 times. Paper chromatography
and ultra-violet spectrometry were used to characterize the
dissolved humic content of water from Monterey Bay and offshore ocean
stations. The correlations between sources indicated the relative
importance of organic acids, amino acids, phenols, and carbohydrates
in sewage outfalls, kelpbeds, harbor areas, river mouths, rip currents
and industrial discharges.
