Abstract:

Oil-contaminated beach sediments were incubated in the laboratory for DIC production and oxygen consumption rate determinations. The data report the changes in the DIC and oxygen data.

Purpose:

These measurements were done to assess degradation rates of the oil contained in the beach sands.

Data Parameters and Units:

DIC production (μmol * grams^-1 sediment dry weight * depth^-1) Oxygen production (μmol * g^-1 sediment dry weight * depth^-1)

Methods:

DIC production was measured using a Shimadzu TOC analyzer Oxygen production was determined using optical oxygen sensors calibrated using Winkler titration

Instruments:

Shimadzu TOC analyzer Presens oxygen optodes

Error Analysis:

The QA/QC protocol eliminated all data where oxygen reached zero
