Methylphenanthrene and methylchrysene distributions have been determined by Shpol'skii Spectroscopy in chromatographic fractions of various environmental samples, including Standard Reference Materials (SRM). This distribution demonstrated to be an indicator of the temperature of the formation of aromatic material in natural matrices. Specific isomer concentration ratios were calculated in each series and were proven to assess pyrolytic or petrogenic contamination in recent sediments.
