Purpose:

The purpose was to determine the formation of excited triplet states resulting from sunlight irradiation of oil.

Data Parameters and Units:

Oil sample, Excited triplet state energies (kJ/mol), Absorptivity of oil (per cm), Wavelength (nm) WDWH = weathered Deepwater Horizon collected 5/24/2010 at 28.801 N, 89.119 W DWH = Deepwater Horizon crude from MC252 well obtained from BP in Aug. 2011 NIST = National Institute of Standards and Technologies
