Abstract
Humic substances (HS) are the most widespread and ubiquitous natural nonliving organic materials occurring in all terrestrial and aquatic environments. HS occur not only as the major fraction of soil organic matter (OM), but also in marine, river and lake waters and sediments, sewage effluents of various nature, peat, coal and lignite. The amount of carbon on the earth occurring as humic substances (60×1011 tons) has been estimated to exceed about 10-fold of that occurring in living organisms (7×1011 tons).
