Biogenic lipids in particulates from the lower atmosphere over the eastern AtlanticThe occurrence, isolation, and characterization of terrigenous lipids in aeolian dusts from the eastern Atlantic are discussed. It is pointed out that such lipids have also been found in aeolian dust from other oceanic areas. A description is presented of the collection and extraction of samples. The dust samples were extracted with two aliquots of toluene and methanol (3:1) for lipid analysis. The extracts were concentrated on a rotary evaporator. General aeolian dust collection data and sample descriptions are presented in a table. The origin of the samples is discussed.
