Determination of heavy metals in deposited sediment and runoff from major roads in Kuching

Road deposited sediment and surface runoff samples were collected and analyzed from selected major in Kuching. The concentration of heavy metals such as Fe, Zn, Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb and Mn were analyzed quantitatively using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Fe was found to be the highest concentration i...
