Aliphatic and Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Particulate Fallout of Alexandria, Egypt: Sources and Implications

Particulate fallout samples were collected in Alexandria Egypt, and their aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon compositions were determined both quantitatively and qualitatively to characterize the homologous and biomarker compounds in terms of their original sources. Results show that all samples con...

Zusammenfassung:	Particulate fallout samples were collected in Alexandria Egypt, and their aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon compositions were determined both quantitatively and qualitatively to characterize the homologous and biomarker compounds in terms of their original sources. Results show that all samples contain aliphatic hydrocarbons and that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are widely distributed in all samples.
