A literature review dealing with methods of chemical analysis of organic compounds in water is presented. The review first presents an overview of nonspecific determination methods, followed by group and compound specific methods of chemical analysis used for detergents, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides and herbicides, and process and industrially related compounds. Among the organic chemicals discussed are PCBs, tetraalkyl lead (a gasoline additive), alkylpyridines (by-products of shale oil processing), and other organic chemicals related to energy production and usage activities.
