Determination of volatile, toxic hydrogen phosphides in the sediments of the Elbe river, the Elbe estuaries and the Heligoland Bay

Description

The distribution and concentraion of phosphines in the sediments of the Elbe river were determined by selective preparation and analysis. The concentration of phosphines in one kilogram wet sediment was in the range of 0.1 to 57 n g with the bulking, anaerobic mud from harbors having the highest and the sandy, aerobic sediments having the lowest concentrations. Phosphines in fluvial sediments were detected successfully for the first time applying the method described. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Mit Hilfe einer selektiven Aufarbeitungs- und Analysenmethodik wurde die Verteilung und die Konzentration von Phosphin in Elbsedimenten bestimmt. Der Konzentrationsbereich des Phosphins pro Kilogramm nassen Sediments reicht von 0.1 bis 57 ng, wobei blasige, anaerobe Hafenschlacke die hoechsten, - sandige, aerobe Sedimente die geringsten Konzentrationen aufweisen. Hiermit ist zum ersten Mal der Nachweis von Phosphin in fluvialen Sedimenten gelungen. (orig.)
