Oil Pollution in muscat Coast, Gulf of Oman
التلوث البترولي في ساحل مسقط بخليج عمان
 
Subject : marine pollution, petroleum and trace metals 
Document Language : Arabic 
Abstract : Water and sediment samples were collected from the marine area of Muscat city, during winter and summer, 1998. Concentrations of total hydrocarbons were measured using the spectrofluorometer, while the identification of different fractions was investigated in detail using Gas chromatograph 1 Mass spectrometer (GCiMS) technique. The types of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) whither, substituted or unsubstituted were discussed relevant to the source of pollution. Long chain alkylated hydrocarbons and alkyl substituted aromatic hydrocarbons were identified in Muscat coast. This is related to the shipment activities at Mina El Fahal. Also, the presence of phthalate is attributed to photochemical oxidation and bacterial degradation of parent high molecular weight aromatic hydrocarbons. This study clarifies the usefulness of using PAHs as chemical markers for determining the source of oil pollution in the area of investigation.
