Abstract
The fate and transport of Detroit River derived sediment-bound pollutants in Lake Erie were investigated by the electron impact gas chromatographic mass spectrometric analysis of 2,4-di-tert-pentylphenol (24DP), an unusual sediment-bound pollutant originating from a single point source on the Trenton Channel of the Detroit River. The 24DP depositional histories were determined in 25 dated sediment cores taken throughout Lake Erie; 24DP occurred in sediments throughout the lake from the mid-1930s until the cores were collected in the late 1980s, with maximum deposition occurring in 1968±2 years in all three basins of the lake
