“…1) causes intensive erosion from the watershed, resulting in massive wash-out of street dust, used crankcase oil, and other oily materials, into Malaysian rivers. Recent studies indicate that the rivers and coastal areas of this country are still receiving significant inputs of petroleum hydrocarbon pollution, most of which is from petrogenic sources, such as used crankcase oil (Zakaria et al, 2002;Bakhtiari et al, 2009;Saha et al, 2009;Shahbazi et al, 2010;Sakari et al, 2012;Mirsadeghi et al, 2013).…”

“…LMW PHAs, such as naphthalene and anthracene, have two to three fused benzene rings, whereas HMW PAHs, such as pyrene, consist of more than three benzene rings. LMW PAHs are more water-soluble (Shahbazi et al, 2010), and biodegradable (Xu et al, 2012) than HMW PAHs. In contrast, HMW PAHs are more resistant to volatilization and biodegradation.…”

In this study, the surface sediments of the Malacca and Prai Rivers were analyzed to identify the distributions, and sources of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). The total PAH concentrations varied from 716 to 1210 and 1102 to 7938 ng g(-1)dw in the sediments of the Malacca and Prai Rivers, respectively. The PAH concentrations can be classified as moderate and high level of pollution in the sediments of the Malacca and Prai Rivers, respectively. The comparison of PAHs with the Sediment Quality Guidelines (SQGs) indicates that the PAHs in the sediments of the Malacca and Prai Rivers may have the potential to cause adverse toxicity effects on the sampled ecosystems. The diagnostic ratios of individual PAHs indicate both petrogenic- and pyrogenic-origin PAHs with dominance of pyrogenic source in both rivers. These findings demonstrate that the environmental regulations in Malaysia have effectively reduced the input of petrogenic petroleum hydrocarbons into rivers.

“…The findings of the current study showed that the Port Dickson sediment samples had a high level of ∑LABs. On this basis, high urbanization and industrialization in coastal areas may be the reason behind this spatial distribution (Shahbazi et al 2010). Furthermore, the distributions of ∑LABs in the aquatic ecosystem are influenced by riverine runoff of sewage effluents and dilutions with natural organic matters (Zeng et al 1997; Dauner et al 2015).…”

21Linear alkylbenzenes (LABs) as sewerage indicators were investigated in the sediments of the 22 West and South Peninsular Malaysia. Surface sediment samples were analyzed using gas 23 chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results showed that LAB concentration in the samples 24 of Port Dickson and the Kim Kim River varied from 111.6 to 255.8 and from 88.2 to 119.0 25 ng•g −1 dry weight, respectively. The ratios of internal isomer, in which the benzene ring was 26 close to the center of the linear alkyl chain, to external isomer, in which the benzene ring was 27 near the end of the linear alkyl chain (I/E ratios), of LABs in Port Dickson coast sediments 28 ranged from 2.6 to 4.1. By contrast, the ratios for sediment from the Kim Kim River varied 29 from 1.7 to 1.9. I/E, long-chained LABs over short-chained LABs (L/S), and C 13 /C 12 ratios 30 indicated that the aquatic environment received primary and secondary sewage effluents. These 31 findings emphasized the necessity of continued water treatment system development in 32 Malaysia.33

“…PAHs have two anthropogenic sources: petrogenic and pyrogenic. Petrogenic source PAHs come from petroleum and petroleum products while pyrogenic source PAHs originate from incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and wood (Shahbazi et al, 2010b). Combustion of coal products in gas manufacture can also contribute to pyrogenic source PAHs.…”

This article is the most recent report of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Muar River and Pulau Merambong, Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 16 priority pollutant PAHs in addition to methylphenanthrene among alkylated PAHs were analyzed in surface sediments during May 2013. Total PAHs ranged from 212 to 440 and 151 to 412 ng g ¡1 dw in sediments from the Muar River and the Pulau Merambong, respectively. The Muar River showed an increasing trend of PAH concentrations, while no previous data exist for the Pulau Merambong. Generally, mixed petrogenic and pyrogenic sources of PAHs with predominance of the latter were detected in the study area. Effective management of oil pollution has caused a drastic decrease in petrogenic sources of PAHs.
