Distribution of fatty alcohols in surface sediments of the Endau River, Johor

The distribution and concentrations of extractable fatty alcohols in surface sediments of the Endau River were determined to identify their sources and variations. A total of 18 surface sediment samples were taken from Sungai Endau, Johor. Samples were then extracted and analyzed using a gas chrom...
