Abstract

Tar balls and oil slicks were sampled on several beaches in the Canary Islands and analyzed, along with reference crude oils, for n-alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by gas chromatography and spectrofluorimetry, respectively. Statistical treatment of the data including intercorrelations, Factor Analysis and Cluster Analysis allow the identification of most of source-crudes.
