Title	Naturally Occurring Organic Compounds In Eutrophic Hyrum Reservoir, Utah
Abstract	Methods of collecting, concentrating, separating, and identifying organic compounds in natural water systems were studied. The most appropriate methods were applied to a eutrophic reservoir (Hyrum Reservoir, Utah) and resulted in the identification of 27 volatile, organic compounds: Alcohols: rerf-butyl alcohol, methanol, 1-pentanol, 2-methyl-2-pentanol, 3-methyl- 2-butanol, 2-methyl-l-butanol, 3-methyl-l-butanol, l-penten-3-ol, isobutyl alcohol, 1-butanol, 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol, 2-methyl-2-butanol, 2-butanal, isopropyl alcohol, 1-propanol, ethanol Ketones: 4-methyl-3-penten-2-one, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone Aldehydes: acetaldehyde, propanal, 2-buten-l-al Others: acetonitrile, pyridine, ethyl acetate, 3-methylpyridine, diethyl ether The concentration level of 13 compounds were established in the reservoir from October 1974 to January 1976: Alcohols: methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropyl alcohol, ferr-butyl alcohol, 1-butanol, isobutyl alcohol, 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol, 2-methyl-2-butanol Ketones: acetone, methyl ethyl ketone Others: acetonitrile, acetaldehyde The highest concentrations of organics were found in the late summer or early fall as the bloom of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae died and the level of bacterial fermentation increased. Other likely sources of organic compounds in the reservoir (besides fermentation) included compounds (acetonitrile and ethanol) at least partially produced at the same time as active algal growth and associated bacteria occurred. Melting snowpack and mountain streams that feed the reservoir also contained similar organic compounds but at lower concentrations than found in the reservoir. Most of the compounds at low concentrations had no effect on the growth of certain algae tested, however there was some indication that certain organics may have affected the growth of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.
