AB  - This study analyzed the fluorometric laboratory tests for the detection of the 
      presence of oil in seawater in cases corresponding to the real situation in the 
      sea: when the point of seawater sampling is not in the same place as the 
      appropriate sensor. The phenomenon of fluorescence exhibited by both natural and 
      alien substances (oil) in the sea was used. The possibility of oil detection in 
      the water column based on a fluorometric index (FI) extracted from the 
      excitation-emission matrix (EEM) was studied. Laboratory tests were carried out 
      on water taken from the Gulf of Gdansk (Baltic Sea). Seawater samples were 
      contaminated with small amounts of various types of oil (the lowest oil-to-water 
      ratio was 0.5 x 10(-6)). A statistically significant difference was found between 
      FI values for uncontaminated seawater and seawater exposed to various kinds of 
      oil (i.e., crude oils, lubricant oils, and fuels).
