summary The Persian Gulf's marine environment has suffered from a variety of
perturbations, most resulting directly or indirectly from the extraction of oil and subsequent …

Petroleum hydrocarbon pollution in the Gulf of Fos (South France) was studied following the
cessation of petroleum waste discharge from an oil refinery in the Lavera area. Sediments …

Sedimentary hydrocarbons have been studied quantitatively and qualitatively in 16 stations
of the Bay of Fort de France (Martinique). Hydrocarbon levels ranged from 54 to 1045mgkg …

Levels of PAHs in seafood from Kuwaiti market were determined. Results showed that most
of the samples contained significant amounts of total PAHs. Naphthalene constituted the …

Natural stable isotopes, such as carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), are modern tools to assess
geochemical processes. C and N in organic matter can carry fingerprints of their hydrologic …
