Abstract:
Results of investigation of various forms of oil pollution, i.e. oil films, tar, and hydrocarbons in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean and North Indian Ocean during October-December 1980 and February-May 1981 are presented. Oil pollution was found only in regions of the heaviest ship traffic and was somewhat less than in 1976-1977. Background concentration of non-polar hydrocarbons was 8-10 ?g/l in surface waters and 14 ?g/l in the shelf zone. Infrared spectroscopy and gas-liquid chromatography indicate that hydrocarbons occurring at concentrations exceeding 50 ?g/l have composition differing from background hydrocarbons. There is considerable accumulation of hydrocarbons in the thin surface layer, and they exist in different forms close to pollution sources.
