Dissolved and suspended particulate metals in Setiu River Basin, Terengganu, Malaysia

Dissolved and suspended particulate metals (Al, Fe, Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb) in Setiu River basin, Terengganu which is situated at coastal area of southern South China Sea were investigated. The water samples were collected from nine stations from June 2007 to January 2008, in conjunction with the Southwest...

The water samples were collected from nine stations from June 2007 to January 2008, in conjunction with the Southwest monsoon and Northeast monsoon. The average concentrations of dissolved Al, Fe, Cd, Cu, Zn and Pb were (μg L-1): 50±60, (2.0±3.4) ×102, 2.5±2.6, 3.0±1.4, 7.5±5.1 and 6.0±5.0, respectively. Meanwhile, the concentrations of suspended particulate metals were (μg g-1): (13±10)%, (10±13)%, 15±13, 65±94, (3.5±2.5) ×102 and (1.2±1.5) ×102, respectively.
