AB  - In an attempt to analyze the chemical characterization of oil residues and 
      examine the suitability of chemical fingerprinting methods in oil spill 
      investigations, multiple parameters sensitive to both sources and degree of 
      weathering were used to characterize oil residues from "7-16" Dalian oil spill, 
      China. Oil residues collected 90 days to 120 days after the spill showed a 
      weathering pattern where significant amounts of light to middle molecular weight 
      normal alkanes were depleted with pristane and phytane as dominant peaks. 
      Diagnostic ratios developed from n-alkane and selected isoprenoids (e.g. Pr/Ph, 
      n-C17/Pr, n-C18/Ph, carbon preference index, LMW/HMW-alkanes ratio), all display 
      obvious changes over weathering time, indicating that these ratios are not valid 
      for oil source identification. Furthermore, the biomarker ratios of hopanes and 
      steranes with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 0.88-4.08% were useful for 
      source identification even for severely weathered oil residues. In addition, RSD 
      of delta(13)C values of individual n-alkanes in oil residue varied from 0.07% to 
      0.20%, which suggest that stable carbon isotope profile of n-alkanes can also be 
      a useful tool for tracing the source of an oil spill.
