Description

CG-AMS system, combining two-dimensional gas chromatography and accelerator mass spectroscopy, has been developed for compound-specific carbon 14 measurement. Samples from shallow sea sediments in Sanbanse, Tokyo bay ware collected, six typical fatty acids were separated therefrom. Ages were estimated from the carbon 14 measurement. Acids of carbon number 15 and 16 has nearly contemporary age, whereas acids of carbon number 22 has age of 17000 years. (A. Yamamoto)
