Statement

Total organic carbon was measured using an Elementar VarioMax C analyser after acidification with 50 % v/v HCl. Non-volatile total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) were determined using TLC-FID Iatroscan Mk6. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were extracted using organic solvents and isolated by solid phase extraction (SPE). PAH were measured by Gas-Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (Varian 3800-1200L). Polychlorinated biphenyls were extracted using organic solvents, treated with H2SO4 and separated from other compound groups by SPE. PCB were determined by Gas-Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (Varian 3800-1200L).
