Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) and Total Aliphatic Hydrocarbon (TAH) in the Bottom Sediment of the South China Sea, Area I: Gulf of Thailand and East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia
Share
Abstract
Surface sediment (0-2cm) from 23 station in the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea were analysed for Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH), and Total Aliphatic Hydrocarbon (TAH). PAH was found to be in the range between 0.7047 mmg/g dry wt. (Stn 70) to 26.6066 mmg/g dry wt. (Stn 52) to 25.5314 mmg/g dry wt. (Stn 41). Long chain aliphatic hydrocarbon (n>20) were found to be dominant species in the most of the sample.
