Estimation par spectrofluométrie des concentrations d'hydrocarbures dans l'eau de mer en Manche occidentale à la suite du naufrage de l"AMOCO CADIZ" du 30 mars au 18 avril 1978

The oil pollution resulting from the "AMOCO CADIZ" tanker spill on the Brittany coast of North Finistère has ailected a very large section of the western Channel, limited ior the period covering March 30 to April 18 to the west by the 5°H meridian, to the east by the St-Brieuc Bay, to the north by the 49°20'paraiii-. The contents ot hydrocarbons observed in. sea water at different Levels sr.o.j that the whole of water column is contaminated by hydrocarbons and indicate very probably the pollution of the sedimentary phase in the areas hited by the drifting sheets.
