Abstract AR
تم إنجاز هذا العمل الميداني للتعرف على التلوث النفطي و كذلك مشتقاته النقطية لساحل البحر الأحمر اليمنى و كان تراكيز المركبات الأليفاتية من 2.46µgg-1 في المحطة (٢) إلى 1-21.72µgg في المحطة (٩) بينما المركبات الحلقية الهيدروكريونية في الرسوبيات السطحية من 1-ngg50.1 في الحطة (٥) منطقة الفازه إلى 1-17.8ngg وزن جاف في المحطة (٣) منطقة الصليف.
هذا التلوث ناتج لعمليات نفطية محلية و كذلك لحركة و مرور البواخر أو السفن في البحر الأحمر و خليج عدن.
Abstract EN
A field work has been carried out to identify the occurrence of oil and oil by-products pollution along the Red Sea coast of Yemen.
The concentration of Aliphatic Hydrocarbons from 2.46 µgg1 at station (2) to 21.72 µgg1 at station (9) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediment samples ranged from 0.15 ngg1 at station 5 (Al-Fazah) to 17.8 ngg1dry wt at station 3 (Al-Salif).
This pollution is a consequence of localized oil operation and/or heavy ship traffic in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
