Sediments of the New York Bight were examined for steroidal compounds and found to contain relatively large amounts of coprostanol and 24 beta-ethyl coprostanol. These steroids were found to be derived from sewage, and it is suggested that they be used as sewage tracers in marine sediments.
对纽约湾的沉积物进行了甾体化合物检测,发现其中含有相对大量的粪甾烷醇和24β-乙基粪甾烷醇。这些甾体被发现源自污水,有人建议将它们用作海洋沉积物中污水的示踪剂。
