Abstract

Abstract

The surface sediment samples from the Huanghe Estuary were collected in September 2003 to explore the distribution and transportation of hydrocarbons in organic matter. The total concentrations of alkanes and polycyclic hydrocarbons varied from 0.38~2.55 to 0.371 ~0.650 μg/g, respectively. Significant differences were observed between the northern section and the southern section.Owing to the influence of the oilfield near the Huanghe Delta, the levels of two kinds of hydrocarbons show the highest level at the mouth in the northern section.Owing to the influence of the water from the Huanghe River, the hydrocarbons increase with the increasing of the distance from the coast in the southern section because the larger size particles are easy to deposit at the mouth of the river and the smaller particles resided with more hydrocarbons are easy to transport over long distance. More biogenic n-alkanes were found in the northern section than that in the southern section. The farther away from the river, the less terrestrial organic matter was observed in the southern section. The PAHs mainly were originated from coal burning in the southern section, and PAH inputs could come from petroleum and coal burning in the northern section.
