Abstract
Petroleum hydrocarbons disseminated by men into the marine environment cause many pollution problems. The fate of a spill of crude oil or refined product in the marine environment is determined by spreading, evaporation, dispersion, emulsification, dissolution, sedimentation and various degradation processes (1). That is why analytical problems to identify the sources of hydrocarbon oil spills are serious(2).
