| Popis: | A series of depth profiles was collected at 22 sites in the Arctic, North and South Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans to determine spatial patterns for trifluoroacetate (TFA) concentrations in the marine environment and to investigate possible natural sources of TFA. Profiles were also taken over underwater vents in the North and South Pacific and the Mediterranean Sea. At the profile sites, TFA values ranged from 800 m) having concentrations of 50 ng/L or more. To determine if underwater vents could contribute to the TFA concentrations in the oceans, profiles were taken over three vents in the Pacific and Mediterranean Oceans. The results suggest that some deep-sea vents may be natural sources of TFA. © 2005 American Chemical Society. |
