Four highly contaminated sediment samples obtained from three sampling locations of the Teltow Canal, Berlin, were investigated by quantitation of extractable and nonextractable organic contaminants. The selection of the anthropogenic contaminants (including chlorinated and brominated naphthalenes, 2, 4, 6-tribromoaniline, phthalates, tri-n-butylphosphate, 2, 2, 4- trimethyl-1, 3-pentanediol diisobutyrate, bisphenol A, butylated nitrophenols, 4-nitrobenzoic acid, galaxolide, and tonalide) based on the results of extended GC-MS screening analyses applied to the extracts of the sediment samples as well as to the extracts derived from selective chemical degradation procedures. In detail, alkaline hydrolyses, BBr sub(3)-treatment and RuO sub(4)-oxidation were applied to the pre-extracted sediment samples in both a separate and a sequential mode.Translated Abstract
