The black globules were found on beaches in Samae Sarn sub-district of Sattahip in Chon Buri, Kinnaree beach, also in Chon Buri, and on the Napa Tharaphirom beach in Rayong, The department’s Director-general Sophon Thongdee said that the substance does not smell, but samples will be tested.

Lacessit Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 It takes about 2 minutes to smear the sample on a salt disc, and generate a readout on an infra-red spectrometer. Any university or technical college should be equipped to do it. The absorption peaks between 2800 and 3300 cm-1 are irrefutable evidence of hydrocarbons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, most big fish can travel far and wide, so sea bass or similar fish would pose no threat from oil contamination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
