Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was quantitatively isolated as five separate fractions from two Sudbury area lakes (Ontario, Canada) using the tandem XAD-8/XAD-4 resin technique. Fulvic acids made up ≈ 48% of the total, humic acids ≈ 8%, hydrophobic neutrals ≈ 8%, XAD-4 acids ≈ 11%, and XAD-4 acetonitrile extracts ≈ 13%. Hydrophobic:hydrophilic ratios were about 65:35. Solid-state CPMAS  13 C NMR indicated a primarily aliphatic nature in all fractions. Percent aromaticity was in the order humic acids &gt; fulvic acids &gt; XAD-4 acetonitrile extracts ≈ XAD-4 acids ≈ hydrophobic neutrals. Titration analysis showed that the  13 C NMR peaks of fulvic acids, humic acids, and XAD-4 acids from 160–190 ppm were primarily carboxyl in nature. The XAD-4 acids were the most acidic, suggesting that they may be important geochemical agents.  13 C NMR indicated that polysaccharides formed &lt; 20% of any fraction. The two neutral fractions (hydrophobic neutrals and XAD-4 acetonitrile extracts) had relatively high N contents, possibly due to the acetonitrile used to extract them. However, the  13 C NMR spectra did not show significant quantities of acetonitrile. The elemental and structural composition covaries in the three acid fractions, such that if one acid is enriched or depleted, so are the others. This suggests that the humic and non-humic acids form a continuum in which all fractions are affected by the same formative processes. Compared to published data for other freshwater samples, the three acid fractions from the Sudbury area lakes have low or very low aromaticity. This may indicate that the acid and metal loadings in the Sudbury area have affected the structure of the organic acids, despite the circumneutral character of the study lakes. These are the first quantitative  13 C NMR results published for the hydrophobic neutrals and XAD-4 acetonitrile extracts, so comparisons are not possible. Key words: aquatic DOC, organic acids,  13 C NMR, humic substances, non-humic substances.
