    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Chrom-Konzentrationen in natürlichen Gewässern reichen von 2 bis 5 nmol·kg−1 im Wasser des offenen Ozeans bis zu 100 nmol·kg−1 in Süßwasser. Das Verhalten des Chroms im Ozean ist komplex, da es in zwei wichtigen Oxidationsstufen vorkommt, die sehr unterschiedliche Eigenschaften haben und außerdem noch organisch gebundene Formen des Chroms möglich sind. Cr(III) zeigt eine besonders starke Bindung an suspendierte Schwebstoffteilchen und wird leicht in der Wassersäule und im Sediment an diese adsorbiert. Cr(VI) ist die thermodynamisch stabile Form im Meerwasser und deshalb die vorherrschende Bindungsform. Es ist bekannt, daß dieses eine wesentlich höhere Toxizität als Cr(III) hat, welches wiederum allgemein als ein essentielles Spurenelement angesehen wird. Quellen für Chrom in den Ozeanen sind Verwitterungsprozesse der Gesteine und Eintrag durch Flüsse und die Atmosphäre. Die Möglichkeit der Umwandlung zwischen den verschiedenen Wertigkeitsstufen des Chroms erschwert die analytische Bestimmung der Chromverbindungen, vor allem wenn vorher Abtrennungs- und Anreicherungsschritte notwendig sind, um die sehr niedrigen Konzentrationen von Chrom in natürlichen Gewässern zu messen.
    Notes: Summary Chromium concentrations in natural waters range from 2 to 5 nmol kg−1 in open ocean water up to 100 nmol kg−1 in freshwater. Its oceanic behavior is complicated by the occurrence of two important oxidation states with very different properties and possible organically bound species. Cr(III) has a significant affinity for suspended particulate matter and is readily adsorbed to it in the water column and in the sediment. Cr(VI), as the thermodynamically stable form in sea water, is the dominant species. It is also known to be of much higher toxicity than Cr(III), which is generally accepted as an essential trace element. Sources for chromium in the oceans are mineral weathering processes and riverine and atmospheric input. The possibility of conversion between different species impedes the determination and classification of chromium compounds particularly when preliminary separation and preconcentration steps are necessary to determine the very low levels of chromium in natural waters.

    Notes: Abstract The pigment fingerprints, determined by HPLC, of suspended matter from different areas of the German Bight and from the Elbe Estuary are presented. These include areas with suspended matter concentrations varying between 10 mg l−1 in the deeper waters in the middle of the Bight and 150 mg l−1 in the Elbe mouth. Pigment data allows the identification of three groups of suspended matter (marine, turbidity zone and Elbe) for the numerous different locations. The changes in pigment concentrations in the suspended matter over tidal cycles are considered. The presence of pigments and pigment breakdown productsi.e. lutein and chlorophyllides is used to assess the possible condition of the phytoplankton present in the suspended matter. These pigment characteristics are compared with the loading of the heavy metals cadmium, copper, manganese, iron, zinc and lead in the particulate matter. It has been demonstrated that the pigments of the planktonic material can be used very effectively to identify different types of suspended matter and that the heavy metal loadings of the suspended matter were significantly correlated with chlorophyll-a.
