abstract

  • In an investigation of petroleum hydrocarbons in the vicinity of a refinery docking facility in a “clean” environment, water samples taken from the surface and at a 10-m depth and sediment samples taken from a nearby beach were found to have essentially no contamination, while bottom sediment had a low level hydrocarbon contamination. Of particular interest was the relative abundance of benzo(a)pyrene in the bottom sediment. Copyright © 1977, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC
