The need for information regarding organic impurities in drinking water is documented, and a new analytical method of concentrating, separating, and identifying organic substances in water is presented. The method has been used for concentrating and identifying neutral organic impurities in the water of two Iowa cities and of the Delaware River. Data on water from Ames, Iowa, show the distribution of hydrocarbons with respect to geographical proximity to a source of pollution.
