A procedure for the direct determination of Iodide In seawater is described. By use of cathodic stripping square wave voltammetry, It Is possible to determine low and subnánomolar levels of iodide In seawater, freshwater, and brackish water. Precision Is typically±5%(1). The minimum detection limit Is 0.1-0.2 nM (12 parts per trillion) at a 180-s deposition time. Data obtained on Atlantic Ocean samples show similar trends to previously reported iodine speciation data. This method is more sensitive than previous methods by 1-2 orders of magnitude. Triton X-100 added to the sample enhances the mercury electrode's sensitivity to iodide.Iodate and iodide are the two principal forms of iodine in seawater (1). To date, the principal methods for determining iodine speciation in marine waters have centered on the analysis of the five-electron irreversible wave of iodate using differential pulse polarography (2, 3) or the colorimetric de-termination of IO3* after conversion to I3 “in acidic solution (4, 5). In each method iodate is determined directly on a sample. Total iodine is determined by converting iodide and organic iodine compounds to iodate via chemical (3, 5) or photochemical means(2). Thus, iodide and organic iodine are determined by difference. The minimum detectable limit of iodate obtained by using thedifferential pulse polarography method is near 20 nM. For the colorimetric method, the minimum detectable limit (MDL) is 30-50 nM in seawater. However, in freshwater and estuarine water, the MDL is higher due to UV absorption by naturally occurring organic matter at the wavelength for I3~ detection (350 nm). Total iodine concentration in seawater (35% o) is approximately 470 nM (2, 4-7). In surface ocean waters, iodate concentrations are near 300-400 nM and iodide concentrations can approach 100-200 nM (2, 4). At depth, iodate is the only
