Distribution Of N-Alkanes In Surface Soils Of Kuantan City, Pahang, Malaysia

A study has been carried out to determine the distribution of aliphatic hydrocarbons in surface soils of Kuantan City, Pahang, Malaysia. Thirty soil samples (0-15cm depth) were collected from area around Kuantan City covering town center, schools, recreation areas and industrial zones. Hydrocarb...
