Geolipid Hydrocarbons In Surface Sediments From The Coastal Area Of Rajang, Sarikei

The surface sediments collected from ten sampling sites located at the coastal area of Rajang- Sarikei The samples were analyzed for aliphatic hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) content by using hiah resolution capillary gas chromatography/flame ionization detector (GC/FID).
