Distributions of dissolved toxic elements during seasonal variation in Kuantan river, Pahang, Malaysia

The concentrations of toxic metals were determined in estuary and freshwater zones from Kuantan River basin. Water samples were collected from the surface and bottom layers of nine sampling stations, from the downstream of the estuary towards the upstream along the mainstream drainage channel, trave...
