title: Organic trace compounds in the water of the River Elbe near Hamburg. Part II.
abstract: Part II of the quantitative determination of altogether 145 distinct organic compounds is presented (88 organic compounds). Elevated amounts of some pesticides concerning triazines and especially dimethoate were recorded as well as of O,O,O-trimethylthiophosphate and O,O,S-trimethyldithiophos-phate, which are related to the chemistry of dimethoate. A comparison of the results of PCB-quantification in unfiltered water samples with the results for solid phase material (SPM-phase) in river water is presented. The occurrence of organic trace compounds in the River Elbe is discussed in comparison to corresponding investigations of the River Rhine.
