surface water

Development and testing of a new protocol to preconcentrate natural organic matter in surface water

The term natural organic matter (NOM) is generally defined as all organic compounds (in dissolved and particulate forms), except synthetic molecules such as organic micropollutants, present in aquatic or terrestrial environments. Hydrophobic acids form the major fraction of aquatic NOM, constituting more than half of the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in water.
