Radiological Impacts of NORM and Poly Aromatic ||gg Hydrocarbon in Petroleum Industry Process on Marine Ecosystem at the Red Sea, Egypt - Juniper Publishers
Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Radiological Impacts of NORM and Poly Aromatic ||gg Hydrocarbon in Petroleum Industry Process on Marine Ecosystem at the Red Sea, Egypt Authored by Kh M Zakaria Abstract This study was designed to realize the hazardous effects on marine ecosystem, and assess the impacts of (NORM) 238 U, 232 Th, and 40 K radioactivity and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in petroleum industry at red sea coastline in Abu Zenima and Abu Rudeis sites. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) individuals Naphthalene, Acenaphthene, Acenaphthylene, Fluorene, phenanthrene and Fluoranthene were analysed with HPLC with fluorescence detection for sea water, sediments and marine organisms Bivalves, coral reef and starfish. HPGe gamma ray spectrometric technique used for measured. The 238 U, 232 Th, and 40 K radioactivity concentration in sea water, sediments and marine organisms Bivalves, coral reef and starfish i
