Title: Tetrachloro-9H-Carbazole, a Previously Unrecognized Contaminant in Sediments of the Buffalo River
Abstract: Three sediment samples taken from the Buffalo River, New York, have been analyzed for polychlorinated planar molecules similar in structure to the highly toxic 2,3,7,8-TCDD. Although no TCDD was found, residues of chlorinated dibenzofuran, fluorene, biphenylene, phenanthrene (anthracene), naphthalene, and 9H-carbazole were identified. l,3,6,8-tetrachloro-9H-carbazole was identified as the major chemical of this type in the sediments, and quantified at levels as high as 25 ng/g at one site.
