Vertical distributions of Zn, Cd, Pb, and Cu at tropical coastal sediments: in case of west coast of Peninsular Malaysia

The level and pollution status of Zn, Cd, Pb, Cu in sediment cores of Bagan Pasir estuary, Sungai Buloh estuary, and the coastline of Port Dickson was assessed. Based on the vertical profiles of metals concentrations, the order of metals’ concentration in decreasing manner was Zn>Pb>Cu>Cd...
