Chemical analysis revealed that the PAH is still within detectable level in some heavily impacted areas of TINMAR and Luzaran in Southern Guimaras, although there was a significant decrease in total PAH of coastal sediments from (3 – 25 ppm) one year after the oil spill to (1 ppb - 17 ppm) two years. However, the total PAH in mangrove surface sediments of TINMAR is relatively lower (<0.16 ppm - 0.8 ppm) and remained almost at the same level two years after the oil spill. On the other hand, the shellfishes recorded a more dramatic decrease in PAH from (9.7- 18.7 ppm) one year after the oil spill to (1 ppb – 2.4 ppm) two years after.}, pages = {59--62}, title = {Assessment of Residual Petroleum Hydrocarbon Two Years After the M/T Solar I Oil Spill in Southern Guimaras, Central Philippines}, volume = {特別号(2010)}, year = {} }
