ABSTRACT
The individual
compounds and sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs)
were studied in the surface sediments at 32 locations in the tourism area of
Langkawi Island. A total of 15 PAHs were determined and
quantified by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
The total PAH concentrations of surface sediments from Langkawi
Island ranged from 228.13 to 990.25 ng/g and they were classified as being in
the low to moderate pollution range. All sampling stations were dominated by
high molecular weight PAHs with 4 rings (31.59%) and 5-6
rings (42.73%). The diagnostic ratio results showed that in most cases, the
sampling stations have pyrogenic input. Further analysis using principal
component analysis (PCA) combined with absolute principal
component score (APCS) and multiple linear regression (MLR)
showed that the natural gas emissions contributed to 57% of the total PAH concentration,
22% from the incomplete combustion and pyrolysis of fuel, 15% from pyrogenic
and petrogenic sources and 6% from an undefined source.

ABSTRAK
Sebatian individu dan
sumber hidrokarbon aromatik polisiklik (HAP) telah dikaji di dalam sedimen
permukaan pada 32 lokasi sekitar kawasan pelancongan di Pulau Langkawi.
Sebanyak 15 HAP telah dikenal pasti dan dikira dengan menggunakan kromatografi
gas yang digabungkan dengan spektometri jisim (GC-MS).
Jumlah kepekatan HAP pada sedimen permukaan di Pulau Langkawi
berjulat daripada 229.13 sehingga 990.25 ng/g dan diklasifikasikan
sebagai pencemaran pada julat tahap rendah sehingga sederhana. Kesemua
stesen pensampelan didominasi oleh HAP yang mempunyai berat molekul
yang tinggi dengan 4 cincin (31.59%) dan 5-6 cincin (42.73%). Keputusan
nisbah diagnosis juga menunjukkan bahawa kebanyakan stesen pensampelan
tersebut mempunyai input pirogenik. Analisis selanjutnya menggunakan
analisis prinsip komponen (PCA) yang digabungkan dengan prinsip komponen skor mutlak
(APCS)
dan linear regresi pelbagai (MLR) menunjukkan bahawa pelepasan
gas asli menyumbang kepada 57% jumlah keseluruhan kepekatan HAP,
22% daripada pembakaran bahan api yang tidak lengkap dan pirolisis
minyak, 15% daripada sumber pirogenik dan petrogenik dan 6% daripada
sumber yang tidak diketahui puncanya.
