Abstract: | Water and sediment samples were takes near the sewage discharge point on the eastern Red Sea Coast of Jeddah and analyzed for PAH and fecal sterols like coprostanol, cholesterol and cholestanol. PAH were estimated spectrofluorometrically and then further analyzed by GC-MS. Sterols were derivatized by BSTFA into their corresponding trimethyl silyl derivatives and then analyzed by gas chromatography and quantified with standard sterols. PAH ranged from 1.5 to 6.5 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
