The Contamination of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Marine Animals from the Oil Spill at Samet Island, Rayong Province
Abstract
Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) contamination in marine animals after oil spill into the Samet Island, Rayong province, was monitored during September 2013 to November 2015. The samples from 7 stations in 2 areas including the areas as expected high impact and expected low impact were collected. The samples of marine organisms were 30 species of fish, 11 species of crustacean and 4 species of mollusk. The level TPH in expected high impact (Ao Prao Bay, Samet Island) and expected low impact areas ranged between 0.03 - 26.80 and ND – 22.74 µg/g dry weight, respectively. Moreover, our results demonstrated the recovery period of marine animals after an oil spill such as pastel-green wrasse was 1,384 days (R2 = 1) to the natural level. Our results also showed that the ridged swimming crab and Oyster took about 226 and 687 days to the natural level (R2 = 0.987, 0.930), respectively. Overall result indicated that the contamination level of TPH in marine animals was high in the expected high impact area and high human activities areas, especially, at the port and tourist areas. However, the marine animals (fish crustaceans and mollusks) have a potential to recover themselves from the TPH in different time periods.
