Investigation for heavy metals in the water and sediments of Sg. Sarawak Kanan

Water and sediment samples from selected locations along Sg. Sarawak Kanan were collected and examined. The concentrations of heavy metals such as Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni, Cd and Co were analyzed quantitatively using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Pb was found to have the highest concentration in the...
