Recent sediments in Hiro Bay were examined for the identification and determination of organic acids. The acids were extracted by 6 N H2SO4. The aliquots were extracted by continuous ether extraction methods. A gas chromatographic method was developed for the determination of the volatile and nonvolatile organic acids, as their butyl derivatives, in sediments. Acetic acid, propionic acid were found to the major components of the organic acids in sediments receiving a considerable amount of pulp mill drainage.
