Monitoring crude oil components in the water column

10-Apr-2013 - USA

Using excitation and emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence and parallel factorial analysis (PARAFAC) modelling techniques to monitor crude oil components, scientists from the US were able to attribute an investigated plume in the water column in the Gulf of Mexico to the dispersed crude oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, using the fluorescence measurements of crude oil groups, dispersant and humic-like components.
