Resumen:
Structural aspects of humic substances (HSs) inmarine waters of Engan˜o Bay (Atlantic Ocean) and waterfrom the Chubut River (Patagonia, Argentina) were compared.The HSs were isolated, purified, and analyzed usinga multiple-method approach for structural characterization:elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance (13C and1H NMR), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visibleabsorption and fluorescence. Similarities between themarine and freshwater components were evaluated on thebasis of N and O contents, H/C and C/N atomic ratios,infrared bands from nitrogen-containing and carboxylicgroups, percentage of functional groups obtained fromNMR spectra, spectral slope coefficient of absorptionspectra, absorbance ratios at 250 and 365 nm (E2/E3),aromaticity, excitation–emission matrices and fluorescencequantum yield. Both the Engan˜o Bay and Chubut River
