Distribution of Aliphatic Hydrocarbon in Coastal Surface Sediments from the Red Sea of Yemen
During the field work the author has collected samples, but the
identification of oil and oil by–products accomplished at the lab. .The
concentration of Aliphatic from 22.8 µgg-1 at Al-Salif Station to 21.72
µgg-1 At Ghurirah station. The unresolved complex mixture (UCM)
represents components resistant to weathering and bacterial
breakdown. This pollution is a consequence of localized oil operation
and/or heavy ship traffic. However, some aliphatic hydrocarbons were
sourced by natural biogenic processes by marine algae and
phytoplankton
