title: Chromatographic separation of marine organic pollutants.
abstract: A review and discussion of the chromatographic separation of marine organic pollutants is given, including sampling and clean-up procedures, fractionation and enrichment of marine pollutants, capillary gas chromatography (cGC) and high-performance liquid chromatography applying both classical and chiral stationary phases. The potential of multi-dimensional cGC for the analysis of marine organic trace pollutants is discussed for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The chromatographic separation of coplanar PCBs and of the enantiomers of chiral pollutants provides a further insight into the toxic potential of these marine organic pollutants.
