Assessment of metal pollution in soil and social impact towards community at Jeli, Kelantan

The soil at rubber plantation at Jeli District potentially pollute by anthropogenic activity of this agriculture. This study was aimed to determine the concentration of metal in soil samples, to assess the metal pollution in soil samples and to determine the social impact of rubber plantation toward...

This study was aimed to determine the concentration of metal in soil samples, to assess the metal pollution in soil samples and to determine the social impact of rubber plantation towards community. The soil samples were collected at two stations with the two points for each station and two times during dry and wet season.
