Transmission-type elastic recoil detection analysis (T-ERDA) using 8.02 MeV He has been successfully applied to determine the concentration of ubiquitous deuterium in mylar and PPS films, both containing hydrogen as a component. The determined D/H ratios of $(1.60\pm 0.08) \times 10^{-4}$ and $(1.23\pm 0.08) \times 10^{-4}$ for mylar and PPS, respectively, are only slightly deviated from the Standard Mean Ocean Water value of $1.55\cdots \times 10^{-4}$. These results indicate potential sensitivity of T-ERDA for analysis of the variation of ubiquitous deuterium in hydrogen-containing materials. Such deuterium analysis might be useful for unique characterization of not only natural, but also synthesized hydrogen-containing materials., Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures
