An end-member mixing-model approach was applied to estimate relative contributions of the marine and terrestrial inputs to organic carbon in sediments, and to elucidate a possible leakage of chemical warfare agents at the Gotland Deep dumpsite. © 2015, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.Chemical warfare agents; Organic carbon; δ13C; Δ14C[SDGs]SDG6[SDGs]SDG13[SDGs]SDG14carbon 13; carbon 14; chemical warfare agent; fatty acid; organic carbon; phospholipid; analytic method; Article; Baltic Sea; coastal waters; extraction; gas chromatography; lagoon; Lithuania; marine environment; sedimentΔ14C and δ13C as tracers of organic carbon in Baltic Sea sediments collected in coastal waters off Lithuania and in the Gotland Deepjournal article10.1007/s10967-015-4547-x2-s2.0-84945260781
