Distribution of petroleum hydrocarbons in surface sediments from selected locations in Kuala Selangor River, Malaysia
A study has been conducted at selected locations along the Kuala Selangor River, Malaysia on seven surface sediment samples to determine the level of hydrocarbon pollution in the sediments. The homogenized sediments were extracted using soxhlet, fractionated and analyzed by using GCMS. PAHs were det...
