  • Title: A preliminary study of total petrogenic hydrocarbon distribution in Setiu Wetland, southern South China Sea (Malaysia).
    Author: Suratman S, Tahir NM, Latif MT.
    Journal: Bull Environ Contam Toxicol; 2012 May; 88(5):755-8. PubMed ID: 22392007.
    Abstract:
    The distribution of total petrogenic hydrocarbon was investigated in the subsurface water of Setiu Wetland from July to October 2008. The concentration was quantified by UV-fluorescence spectroscopy and ranged from 4 to 121 μg/L (mean 60 ± 41 μg/L). Higher total petrogenic hydrocarbon concentrations were found in area with high boating activities suggesting that the contribution is likely related to fossil fuel combustion. The present study also revealed that the total petrogenic hydrocarbon values are still lower that those reported in Malaysian coastal waters.
