Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

In surface peat-bog waters containing suspended organic matter were observed to produce, iodomethane, iodoethane,- propane and butane were found to be released.

Methyl halide distribution in freeze-dried versus 105°C dried samples revealed an abiotic reaction mechanism that forms alkyl halide. Organic matter is oxidized and the redox partner reduced; during the process halides are methylated and the methyl halides formed represent degradation product of oxidized organic matter.

The release rate of 1 -halobutane is smaller than the release rate of 1 -halopropane, then ethane, then methane. The increase of iron in soils increases the release of alkyl halides (emission). A fraction of soil halogen content is methylated, mostly iodide, then bromide, then chloride.

Halomethane production increased with increasing halide ion concentration in the soil.
