The aim of this research was characterization of oil pollutants in the soil and sediments
in the vicinity of one of the largest district heating plants in Belgrade (Capital of Serbia).
The soil and sediment samples (109 in total) were collected in spring 2015. From these
samples, the extractable organic matter was isolated using a Soxhlet apparatus, and
fractionated into fractions of: saturated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and polar
compounds. Saturated hydrocarbons were analysed by gas chromatography – mass
spectrometry.
Saturated biomarkers revealed that the surface samples contained mixtures of a diesel
fuel and native organic substance while the pollutant in the subsurface samples was a mixture
of a diesel fuel and a heavy oil fuel. Sterane and terpane biomarkers confirmed presence of
different oil pollutants at this location.
It was concluded that the oil pollutants saturated hydrocarbons at this location
originate from multiple discharges of diesel and/or a he...avy oil fuel.
