- The objective of the study was to determine the origin and type of organic matter (OM) of the Tisza recent sediments along the distance of 153 km through the territory of Serbia. For this purpose group organic-geochemical parameters and biomarker compositions were used. All samples contain approximately same amount of OM, which was deposited under uniform, slightly reducing conditions. Based on the distribution of n-alkanes, the origin and type of OM could not be precisely estimated. However, n-alkane patterns suggest the presence of immature singenetic organic matter of terrestrial origin. Distributions of terpanes and steranes and values of corresponding maturity parameters indicate that Tisza River sediments, apart from immature singenetic organic matter, contain oil pollutant of anthropogenic origin. Identical composition of these biomarkers in all samples confirms that the recent sediments of the Tisza River, from Kanjiža town to the confluence into the Danube River, contain the same type of oil pollutant. Based on the compositions of terpanes and steranes and values of biomarker parameters in Tisza sediments, it is supposed that oil pollution generally could be related to heavy fuel oil from tankers due to intense river transport and, in lower extent, to crude oils from the Elemir and Rusanda oil fields.
