Abstract

The content of organic material, n-alkana, aromatic compound and hydrocarbon total in the sediment was carried out in the waters of Raha, Southeast of Sulawesi. Investigation on content of organic material, n-alkana, aromatic compound and hydrocarbon total in the sediment was carried out in the waters of Raha, Southeast of Sulawesi in June 2001. The results showed that the sediment at station 1 and 4 were polluted by hydrocarbon compound. This condition is showed by F1/F2 ratio (comparation between saturated hydrocarbon fraction with aromatic hydrocarbons fraction) > 1. According to NAS (National Academy of Science) criteria on total hydrocarbon content, station 2 and 5 only were polluted by hydrocarbons compound (>100 ppm). Keywords: Raha waters, hydrocarbon, sediment
