| Summary: | The presence of heavy metal in soil of industrial activities can result in risk to
the human health. The exposure of high concentration heavy metals can lead to skin
and breathing problem as much as other high risk diseases. Industrial activities around
Bemban Industrial Estate has become a major source of heavy metal release to the
environment in that area. The heavy metals being studied, lead (Pb), nickel (Ni) and
copper (Cu) are suggested to be high in the area. This is because, these metals have
become the main concern in industrial related pollution in previous research globally.
The investigation of the concentration of heavy metals in soil will be carried out in two
ways. |
