Aliphatic Hydrocarbons in Surface Sediments of Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor, Washington
J. B. Rapp, K.A. Kvenvolden, H.E. Clifton
1982, Open-File Report 82-609
Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor are two adjacent estuaries along the coast of Washington state. Willapa Bay is a recreational area minimally affected by industry; Grays Harbor, on the other hand, is moderately industrialized. Aliphatic hydrocarbons in surface sediments from these two estuaries reflect the differences in human activities. For...
