Abstract

Field work has been carried out to identify the occurrence of oil and oil by- product pollution along the Red Sea Coast of Yemen. The total concentation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediment samples ranged from 33.7ug/g at Rass-Issa to 5.23ug/g dry wt.at Al-Mukha. This pollution is a consequence of localized oil operation and /or heavy ship traffic.
