Adsorption of inorganic solutes is viewed as a site-specific process in which ions bind (chemically) at functional groups on particle surfaces. Surface complexation reactions are distinguished from re- actions among monomeric solutes. Electrostatic effects are accounted for by applying a coulombic correction factor (activity coefficient) to intrinsic surface complexation constants. These models can be used to predict inorganic ion adsorption on hydrous oxides for changing solution conditions on the basis of fewer data. Includes 116 references.

High molecular weight hydrocarbons in partic- ulate matter of the northwest Gulf of Mexico. Mar. environ. Res., 21(1):3-9.

A study of hydrocarbons suspended in particulate matter isolated from surface waters of the Gulf of Mexico was conducted in 1977. This paper docu-

ments baseline concentrations of saturate and aromatic components which appear to have a petroleum origin prior to recent major oil spills in the Gulf. Whereas the particulates did not appear to contain pelagic tar and did contain several com- ponents with characteristic mass spectra of natural marine hydrocarbons, unequivocal mass spectra of numerous non-pyrogenic PAH were obtained. Nor- mal alkane concentrations decreased with distance from shore: however, PAH tended to be more concentrated offshore. This distribution may be related to a shore source near the study site or the result of water mass variations on the shelf.

Linet and Francis Grousset, 1987. Evidence of recent lead pollution in deep northeast Atlantic sediments. Nature, Lond., 326(6110):278-281.

In two short cores from the NE Atlantic, lead concentrations in surficial sediments (21.0 and 15.0 ppm in the top cm) are higher than in the uppermost 10 cm of the cores (6.0 and 2.8 ppm), and are likely to be enhanced from anthropogenic sources. The quantity of lead stored in these surficial sediments (5.7 and 2.5 /xg cm-~) is of the same order as the amount of pollutant lead present in the dissolved state in the water column.
